Just got my 2005 Blackbird and would like to change the speed readout from mph to km/h. I did not get an manual so if somebody could please lend an helping hand it will make my day.
thanks.

Look in the techincal section here, the is a downloadable manual.
Or even easier look in the owners manual it has it there.
I remember reading it, it was pretty easy

With the key on, hold both the SET and clock set buttons down at the same time.

Nice trick to play on someone when they leave their key in their bike.....

You KNOW I'm filing that one away for Hookers, right?

It's great fun to do to someone, but it's even funnier when they don't know how to put it back.

Poor Bruce (BhanXX) at WiXX this year had it get changed accidentally. Made for great fun.

When I bought my bird I rode it about 1 mile from the dealership before I realized they had not made the conversion for me. Dogs!

Had to stop. Pull out the manual. Find the right page and fix it myself. It took all of about 2 minutes. Darn Dealer Dogs!
