Just acquired my MP3 250. Was told from someone that the digital screen showing my odometer, trip miles, and thermometer could be changed (reprogrammed) for USA readings.

In other words from km/h to mph and from Celcius to Farenheit?

Is this true and how do I do it if so?

From memory . . . .

Turn off ignition
Press and hold the MODE button = right hand button by starter
Turn on ignition

Display should have changed
Turn off ignition
Release button
Turn on ignition

As I said, thats from memory
Hope its correct

If you are referring to just changing the digital reading from metric to U.S.A. readings then yes; but the digital screen doesn't show speed whether in km/h or MPH and can't be made to do so by reprogramming as it doesn't have the necessary hardware.

In my opinion, that would be a well loved addition for 2009 or 2010.

Okay, thanx for the info. I was able to change the odometer reading to miles rather than km with your info.

Is there a way to change the temperature reading to Farenheit from Celcius?

I figure the dealer should of set that up for you before they handed it over.

So we have a piss-poor dealer (Ding!) and an apparently unreadable owner's manual. Not a good combination...

PS. I'm approx 6 months away from being eligible to wear a shirt like yours. It is so nice to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
