Possible to wind on the speedo?

[essjay]

As the title says, is it possible to wind on the speedo?

Say if I got a new speedo but wanted it to reflect the current mileage.

 

[Steptoe]

Send me the brand new speedo and i'll send you a used one with the mileage you want

 

[essjay]

So thats a no I take it?

My bike is in MPH, Ireland is KPH so I wanted to wind on the new speedo to reflect the current mileage on the bike but in km's.

Basically it has 20,000 miles and I want to display 32000kms.

.

No, it's a yes.

But i'm not going to post on a website how it's done

Do this at own risk !!!

First of put kettle on...
Then wheel moto in to living room,
put on centre stand,
Make cup of tea or coffee,
Place comfortable arm chair beside front wheel,
turn on TV, and then by hand start to spin front
wheel...
This never fails to work

Just be careful not to follow through.

But won't an mph speedo continue to increment in miles so it'll never reflect actual km travelled ?

Would you know somewhere this info could be found online or even a PM?

Not too bothered to be honest, but since we're in km's over here I thought it would be handy

I have a MPH speedo in the bike. I'm thinking of buying a KPM speedo to swap out the miles one with.

Essjay,

I have a speedometer thats has MPH on the outer scale and KMH on the inner scale, but more importantly the odometer counts up in Kilometers.

It has 23,563KM showing if thats any good for you.

Open to offers

Any other suggestions before I get the screw drivers out and make shit of it?

I tried this once - you will be there for ever with the electric drill. Just make a note in the owners manual of the extra miles.
