Yes mate. You hold the button for 3 secs to get to the first screen the another 3 secs to jump down to the KM/H Mph setting. Press the button once and it swaps to imperial. You then hold the button 3 secs to go to the next screen.
Its a bit confusing in the instructions took me a while

Following on from my last enquiry...........
looking at it there doesn't seem to be an indicator light either so anyone got any ideas as to how to bodge a couple of warning lights in for low fuel and indicators?

Depth to top of cable thread from underside of chrome ring 50mm
Length of threaded boss for cable 14mm
Diameter of speedo body 78mm

It may all be unnecessary because SIP are actually working on these for Lambrettas. As soon as they are ready you'll all be the first to know :D
Just checked and they're too deep for a Smiths headset, The Smiths speedo is 30mm deep, I guess I'll wait for the standard version.
Turn On, Tune In, Cop out!

Unashamed bump, and I'll keep doing it until I get an answer, either that or I'll hold my breath until I turn blue and pass out!!

Off the top of my head you should be able to wire in a small led using the power to the warning light in the original speedo. Same deal with the indicator flasher
