I would like to change the instrument cluster on my 2016 RS to MPH from KPH. I see many used clusters online. does anyone know if i can just swap out one for another? Will the dash now convert everything to miles automatically? |

Hi,i haven't made the swap that you propose, but I’m wondering if you have a Nav V or VI ? If you do it’s easy to switch between Miles and Kms and mph and kph on its display - depending on your needs that might be a simple solution? When I tour in Europe that’s what I do to visualise my speed in the local metrics. |

This is a canadian bike possibly heading to the usa, it has the Gps but not sure thats good enough when going through the import process. |

the speedo is kms only, would be nice if i could change out the template and have the dealer change the odometer to miles if possible. at this point the reccomdetation is a new cluster programed at the dealer. just wondering if their is an alternate solution. kms speedo.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) |

That KPH only speedo is a lot easier to read than the confusing jumble that we have to decipher . Wish we could get an MPH only clock. |

I never read my analogue speedo. It’s terrible.
Carpe Diem!

Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #8 Same for me. It's difficult to read at a glance and it's not accurate.

my only concern is getting the RS plated in NY state. The garmin will show mph and odometer in miles. Anyone know if this is good enough to get the bike on the road? Like you say, i never look at the analog gauage either. opinions? anyone know about this stuff? |

Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #2 On my old R1200RS I tried using the Nav V to get KPH but you loose the navigation info, which on the minor roads in Europe that I travel I need. Keep swapping between navigation and speed was a pain so I just remember the KPH in MPH. How do you cope boxerboy? John |

Zitat von JAG im Beitrag #13Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #2 Well in the Nav view you can still see your speed as well as the speed limit albeit much smaller, but helpfully your speed indication turns red if you exceed the road limit. It’s not ideal but that’s how I manage in areas where I’m depending on the Nav for directions. |
