Default Odometer is going backwards rather fast.
Want this morning to hop on the scooter took a short ride about 150 miles. When i got where i was going my friends asked me how many miles you have on that bike. Well i know it was over 18K but i checked to see exactly. To my surprise it said 15,608 Some place i lost 3000 miles ? WTF is causing this. Only thing i done to the bike as far as electronics's was a stage 1 down load over 3 years ago

Ole buddie that is a time machine you are riding on. That's why I get on mine and ride, makes my feel young again. I think if I keep going I'll be in my twenties once again, that is until I get off and see myself in the mirror.

Display led's going bad like on a cheap watch?? Easy to make a '8' turn into a '5' on a digital readout... Wait and see what happens when you reach 16k or 19k whichever it is.
