My odometer counts in kilometers.I figured this out after the numbers never seemed to make sense to how far i had ridden, it would roll over 60 miles for a trip that was much shorter than that. So today I got out my gps and did a trip setting and drove 1 mile,it had registered as about 1.4 miles.Then I changed my settings to kilometers on my gps and it was a 1:1 match.

So instead of having 5500 miles on the scooter its only got around 3400+/- or 5500 kilometers.

Anyone else have one counting kilometers instead of miles?

My 50cc bike reads in Km. for the odometer but mph for the speed. Before anybody tells me otherwise I know the difference between 45 mph and 45 kph (27 mph). The speedometer is pretty accurate too. I checked against roadside radar and it's off by 10% which is a pretty standard number for bikes. About all my Japanese bikes were pretty much the same.

Most of our fleet bikes count in km, the main dial of the speedo is also in km, with mph in small figures around the inside. Nothing unusual in it. The only ones on our fleet which have the odometer in miles are the ones with digital dashes which you can flick between miles and kilometres at the touch of a button.
