Default Dakota MLX speedo

Just installed the Dakota MLX2004 speedo on my RK. The manual says the customer can program in the odometer within the first 100 miles of riding. Im getting a "cannot clear" when I hold the side button down to program it. I haven't ridden with it yet so not sure if it needs to sense a few miles first? Dakota is closed today otherwise I'd be calling them. Anyone have this issue ?

Figured it out. Had to turn ignition and hold side down to enter setup mode.

Out of curiosity is this side button under the nacelles? Mine doesn’t have one that’s visible

the app is where all the fun stuff is. I spent about an hour with mine and the instructions trying to do stuff to no avail before it dawned on me to get the app

you are gonna like the speedo though
