USA Spec R1250GSA - MPH to KPH?

[Missin44]

I have a US spec R1250GSA. For whatever reason BMW made it that US bikes can not be switched between MPH to KPH. It's a PITA when crossing the boarder into Mexico or Canada.

Is it possible to add this function with the GS911? If so could someone to the link that describes the procedure?

Hi Missin44

Thank you for reaching out. We have released this functionality some time ago - you'll just need to navigate to the instrument cluster > service functions > coding options. Under this tree you'll find configuration, which allows you to change the units of measure.

Kind regards and safe travels

I have a UK spec 2024 r1250gsa, which used to have the option to select mph or kph via the tft. However, following a software update by BMW to sort out the sos error, this option is no longer available.
Any idea if this can be restored? To get around it whilst in France, I’ve used the GS 911 to change the speed units to kph, but I will need to reverse this with the GS 911 when I return to the UK.

a UK spec bike by law must have the ability to display speeds in both KPH or MPH - either
1) they flashed the wrong update (shouldn't be possible)
2) they are incompetent and forgot the law in the last update (likely these days)
3) you need to look harder at choices
4) or they moved to the cheapskate idea, where a secondary digit display is always the opposite unit to an analogue dial (which is the nasty way BMW Minis do it these days)
