saber cat kmh/mph tach problem

I have an 04 saber cat 500 and the read out is kmh as is the odometer. Anybody have a clue how to change back to mph and miles instead of kilometres. Thanks. Took it in about 3 years ago for the gas tank recall and I think this is when it happened. It's my secondary sled so wasn't too concerned about it . Joined the forum and thought id give it a try.

Just keep pushing the display select button until it changes.

Tried pressing the display and holding it down. Is there anything under the hood that would change it back?

The select button is the only way to change it.
When in KPH mode, try just press and hold.

Holding down the display button did not work. Are there any other suggestions? I really would hate to have to take it to the shop for this and I am planning on selling this machine this winter.
Thanks Jason

Mine has a harness plug near cluster that if it is plugged together it reads in kph and unplugged it reads mph..

edit : there is a brown wire behind speedo that you unplug.

It was the brown wire harness. Thanks for the info. Managed to find the owners manual and that suggestion was in there also. Feel like a fool, oh well its fixed.
