Default Read the odometer with ignition off
I found something by mistake today and thought I would pass it on, you never know, you may not have discovered it.

Press the trip reset button when the ignition is off and the odometer switches on for 5 seconds.

Does it display the trip or odometer? I guess I'll go out to the garage and find out.

Odometer - you may be able to confirm that it works on other types and years of scoots, Chris. Certainly works on the 06 Bob.

It worked on my 03 Lowrider as well. I took it in for it's 5k service, and the tech making the rounds hit the button to check the mileage. Pretty cool stuff!
