Default Speedo / Odometer Question

Hello Everyone,
I have a 1984 FXR. My question is, can the odometer be reset to zero?
I just had my engine rebuilt and I'd like to reset the speedo.
Thanks.
Larry

Sure, if you can get it apart without damaging it.

Definitely cause a title discrepancy later on

I would not do it

Not easily. Why not just note the mileage in your log book (wherever you record maintenance) and keep the odo the same. Not like the rest of the bike is new now.

The rest of your bike still has that many miles. I wouldn’t mess with it.

In my state odometer tampering is illegal.
