Default Speedo/Tach problem

Got one of them Speedo/Tach's for xmas. Installed on my 09 Roadking, transferred the mileage went good.. real simple install. Went for a ride and all was good. But when I get back close to home I notice it has switched over to reading km's on the odometer.
I have tried just unhooking battery, and thought that may reset it...nope.
Any body have any ideas, to get it back to American.........??

No, it's a harley speedo, not digital..........
With tach & gear indicator........... Thanks for asking, still trying to figure out something......Love it, but don't want to read mileage in Kilometers.

There is a way, just wish I could remember... I had put one on my heritage and used to switch it to miles while in the states. Did it come with a instruction manual? I think you just have to hold in the button or something simple like that.

edit: if you can't find the manual, pm me, I might still have it around the house somewhere.

The instructions that came with mine say to "Press and hold the 'Trip' reset switch to toggle between the 'mile' and 'kilo' displays."

That's what i thought... Does it not work? If not, there's a chance that the button isn't sitting right from the install. Does the button work for resetting the trip?

OP will get it resolved once he reads the instructions.I had one on my RK and was able to toggle between mph and kilos.

WoW, I thought my post had died and haven't checked back till this morning.
YES, I'M STUPID. I had read the directions several times and did not see anything on switching mile to kilo.
HOWEVER after seeing the replies, I reread the directions............. And guess what. Page 4 just above the display modification section there it is.
"press and hold the trip reset switch to toggle between mile & kilo's
THANK YOU ALL THAT REPLIED, ALL IS GOOD NOW.......
Maybe one of these days I will put a thread on here about my cam swap debacle, Ran it a year 1 tooth off....... Sheesh, Live & Learn. Thank You !!

lol, glad to hear you got it figured out. I know no man likes reading instructions, but as long as you don't tell anyone you did it, they won't be able to judge you! haha.
