To change the speedometer from KPH to MPH. With the ignition on and odometer is displaying kilometers. Hold the select button for 3 to 5 seconds. It should switch to MPH.

Did you ever get it to change for KPH to MPH? If not try this. ..turn off key. Depress and hold right side button on display and turn on key at the same time. Keep holding until it changes. This worked on imapdog's Orion RXB 125XL. Cluster looks to be the same and may work on your bike too. Worth a try.

What is the actual seat height of your bike?

Fonzi007 · 10-23-2019, 06:40 PM

The seat height is 33 inches about
I’m 5’4 and I fit on it Comfortably

What is the seat height on the Apollo? I am looking into possibly getting one, but I am only 5'8. Would this bike be comfortable for me as a commuter?

Fonzi007 · 10-23-2019, 06:43 PM

Oh 5’8 is perfect man you’ll do great, I commute to work every day and it rides so well ! The seat can be alittle on the hard side but I’ll soften up after a while , commuting would be great but the tank is small but I’m looking into upgrading the tank and if I do this bike is literally perfect! Right now if I chose as is compared to the brozz the brozz does alittle better but with some upgrades it would be my choice for sure

Thanks Fonzi but it's not how tall you are, it's your inseam. I'm 5'9" but have a 30" inseam. I need a short seat height but high handlebars. Yea, it's weird. I'm currently trying to tweak my DR441 buy sourcing some lowering links AND adding ATV bars. Because when I stand up on the pegs, I have to lean forward to maintain control, especially going down hill it's very awkward.
So, what is your inseam?

Thanks,
Al

Ahhhh! My fault everready!! So I get what your saying My actual inseam is 29” so the bike for me is a comfy fit especially since your inseam is 30” you’ll be perfect ! Dr441 I’m so jealous 😭😭😭

Indianaman · 10-24-2019, 02:59 PM

Very interesting, I have a 31" inseam. Everywhere I've looked online, the seat height for this bike is listed as either 35" or 36". 33" seams way more manageable. I would just like to at least be able to have a toe from each foot on the ground.

The bike has adjustable rear shock so for you if the bike is too high you can always adjust it was actually around 32” seat I must have measured wrong but for me I lean on one side so when I’m at a complete stop I have a full leg out and when I have both I’m on the ball of my feet but it’s still super comfortable for me ! I wouldn’t always believe the websites a lot of the information was wrong I saw it saying it was water cooled and it was not adjustable but it’s the opposite lol! I’ll take some pics while
I’m on the bike so you can see but it is worth EVERY penny!

You have to remember, when you're on the bike the suspension will be compressed somewhat. It depends on how much pre-load you have, how much you weigh etc. Sometimes it's necessary to get a foot down when riding in technical terrain. On my DR I can barely touch with my toes when I come to a stop.
Plus, a shorter seat height makes it easier to mount. With my DR I have to get on it like a person gets on a horse, left foot on the peg and swing my right leg over.

Getting old(er) sucks!
