Odometer stuck at 10000 miles
Before anyone starts I did a search because I remember reading about this a year or so ago. I just can't find it now.
I've been coming to the realization that my battery is going south. In trying to nurse it along (eliminate other possibilities) I've cleaned everything (both ends) and ran the battery WAY down several times. I've now noticed that my odometer is stuck at 10000 miles. This is where my question lies. I may have done this when clearing codes out of the ECM. or when I run the battery down setting the codes. Either way I can't remember what the fix was for getting the mileage straightened out. Can anyone help with this?
I'm still fartin around with it so I'll check back in a little while.

The first time I had trouble with it was after the battery had sit on the bench for about a week while I had it apart. After I put it back in I started the bike three of four times before I really put any time on it. It is the battery going south. Coincidence. Hyde is going to pick me up a new one on the morning when she goes grocery shopping.

Make sure you don't have your odometer on your A or B trip mileage meter because the odometer in my car re-starts at 10,000 so you might be on your trip meter and not your odometer mileage, click your button on the side off your console. just a guess. Jackyl

I just had another thought. How can moco legally make the bike quit registering miles on the odometer. It's against the law for me to "alter" the odometer reading, either by changing it, unhooking it, or any other way that would cause it to register something different than it really has.
Has anyone ever thrown a fit about this, knocked out a service manager, pulled a gun? The more I think about this the madder I'm getting.
It may be time to get a new custom speedometer, if that would make it go away.

Yup. I looked at that. I've got 57 miles since the service and 29 since I put fuel in it.

hmmm, check and see if that is the service code (10000) for low battery or stator problem, since you said you had low battery just another thought. Jackyl
