Clocks zeroed!

Hi all,

Out for a ride and hit just over 62K, looked down a few minutes later, clock read 2! Guess when 100,000Kms are reached the clocks go back to zero

I read something abut that ages back. If you're using km, then the odometer keeps on counting OK. But if you're using miles, it resets to 0 at 100,000km.

A stupid little bug in the ECU's firmware.

Yep, mine did the 100,000 KM reset too a year or two back. You now have a low mileage model.

Ermmm, nuffink to do with the ECU - dash has it own microcontroller

interesting, so if you switch to km does it still show 100,000 plus?

I wouldn't have thought so - i'd bet it can only store up to 100,000km on the controller, it probably has no seperate storage for miles, and just does stored km / 1.609344 to get the mileage.

100,000km is 62137.12 miles, that is the number at which the mileage will go back to zero and we have un-ridden bikes!

Seem to remember that the trip rolls over at 1000km even when it's set to miles.

Ah that explains why my mille did this the other week?

I have 252 miles on the clock now

OK, revise my statement to say "a stupid bug in the instrument console's firmware."

Bug or just lack of specification due to people not considering that anyone rides bikes that far these days?

Whatever, it does leave these bikes susceptible to clocking by the unscrupulous........

Hi all,

Ain't going to sell my falco! So, if l go round the clock again, l will have a new bike every few year. Can't stop riding, gives me great pleasure
