Angry Crazy odometer

Good morning guys.
I need support on my Softail Custom TC96 2010 with odometer model 74775-11B.
The odometer measures too much km.
On a 22 km of route, it has measured 36 km.
Now it's giving me a trip B of 348 km, when my bike runs max 250 km with a tank...
There is something wrong...
It seems to me that everything started after having it mapping on dyno with the FP3, but it seems very strange to me...
Any suggestion?

Doesn't it seem coincidental that 36 miles is 22 km? And 348 km is 216 miles, less than your 250?

Yea, it must be a coincident . . . now if he rode 36 kilometers and the odometer said 22 then it would look like it's now reading miles instead of kilometers.

I recently had some strangeness with my speedometer. I removed the main fuse, waited and reinstalled it. That fixed my issue. You might want to try that.

It sounds like that there is something of with your setting, 36 km = 22 miles, so for some reason it thinks it it is tracking miles but showing them as kilometers...

If you done a calibration with FP3, make sure that the units on the FP3 are the same as the one used on the bike's system. And then recalibrate

Have it remapped. Don't know if it's possible but can you program the ECM to read miles OR km's? If so, that's what happened. It got changed.

If you feel it happened when using a FP3 just remove the FP3 tune back to stock. If that solves your issue then contact V&H to fix it for you. The calibration can adjust the odometer so maybe they have another mistake to fix.
