DT125R FORUM

So the converter is only converting to match the KPH face then and not a real converter i.e. really changing to mph. Sounds like I need to find a proper MPH speedo after all! Don't suppose you have a good one you fancy selling? Appreciate your help as you have saved me a lot of aggro. Cheers

Hi Markus, the current clock face is in KPH. The overlay I have is in MPH and secondary KPH. The odometer at present is also in KPH. If I change the overlay on the face dial to MPH with the same gearing, as you say it wont read properly. But if I add the converter then it would show MPH correctly and also mean the odometer will also now be in miles. Is that correct?

What I am trying to achieve is that the clocks show MPH and actually read MPH and the odometer also measure in miles. Is my theory correct?

Appreciate your help before I cock something up!

Thank you Markus, that information and guidance is priceless. I will do this over the weekend and let you know how I got on. Appreciate your help. If it all works out, I will get a KPH to MPH converter to plug into the speedo head in order to change the gearing to MPH.

Cheers. Have just bought an MPH overlay and today got a local engineer to cut a piece of 2mm clear acrylic in the exact shape of the speedo including all the cut outs etc. I am hoping that I can take the existing speedo off and then get inside it and replace the KPH face with the new pieces. Do you they if they are difficult to get into and how the face actually comes off as I dont want to damage it as its mint? Any thoughts?

great thanks

Thanks. Just ordered a few but still keen on an MPH speedo if I can find one. I am told by another member that an XT 350/600 speedo is the same but measures up to 100 mph (which it will never do!).

I need an MPH speedo for 1998 DT125R, in good condition please. Also, if not does anyone know of a company that can take a KPH speedo and re engineer it to show MPH? Many thanks for advice.
