With the factory setting the display reads about 80 mph at a true 70 mph. Owners get accurate readings after setting the circumference to 1675 mm. You only need the two buttons on the back of the display (video):

  1. Hold the left button to enter programming mode. The screen shows “CC”.
  2. Enter 153: tap the left button to raise the blinking digit, and the right button to move one digit right.
  3. Set the circumference to 1675. Leave the pole pairs and offset alone, or the bike may stop working.
  4. Long-press the right button to exit.

Other codes in the same menu: 974 switches between km/h and mph; 372 resets the odometer (only three times).
