Hi gents,
I have 2 questions regarding my new DD gauge, if I may:
1. How to set the mileage? I was told that it would DIY read it from the ECM, but it hasn't.
2. How to set the readout to KPH.
The document that came with the gauge is out of date/useless.
Thanks in advance!
Cracked item 2, but still need to get the ECM Kms set.

Is it possible to put my vehicle's odometer readingQ: Is it possible to put my vehicle's odometer reading on the Dakota Digital gauges or do I have to start at zero miles? I looked at the installation instructions but could not find how to set the odometer.
Some Dakota Digital gauges come from the factory at zero miles unless you specify that you want the odometer set. Dakota Digital can set the odometer on our digital gauges to a specific mileage reading. It must be done at the factory and there is a $20 charge for this service. If you do not specify that you want your odometer preset then it will be shipped from the factory at zero miles.
VHX, VFD3 and RET Series gauges and certain motorcycle products now allow for user programmable mileage to be set one (1) time during the inital setup before 100 miles. If this is not done or set incorrectly the control box will need to be returned for service and a $20 service charge will apply.

Would seem to me there are some legal issues surrounding this also. I know in automobiles if the gauge cluster has to be changed the only way a dealership can legitimately get a new cluster is through the manufacturer and they require certification of the old mileage. They then preset that into the new one at the factory. Seems bikes should be similar...but I'm thinking some less than honest people may be able to find away around that step. Which is a scary thought when shopping for a used bike...

My DD speedo did not need to be set. But, if yours does, here is the manual.

More mods for the technically challenged :
A while ago I decided to try a cheap experiment that turned into a keeper. I put a heel-toe shift lever on my breakout.
The main parts I used were one of these (this is Canadian pricing):

,,,, and 3 of these:

,,, and a handful of cheap O-rings.
I wound up having to drill and tap the lever to accept a set screw that extends into the channel on the spline so the shifter wouldn't work its way off. The results work great, there is no dragging of parts and the shifting action is quite natural and comfortable. The longish aftermarket pegs do add to comfort and aesthetics but aren't necessary.
