Default trip button issue

Anyone ever had issues with the trip button next to speedo, the one you cycle thru to get your mileage, trip mileage, etc...I had mine wouldn't get off the mileage until I rode it about 10 miles. The gauges where sweeping like it was in diagonsic mode. Code come up for B1008. It has something to do with it. Reset code and it hasn't come back. Can you replace just that button or whats involved to fix it? Before anyone ask, no water has been near it in a few months.

the switch is busted...it is sticking "on".

we've seen a few posts like yours--- it just happens.

you may "fix" it by exercising the switch.

replacement is pretty easy.

first look at whether the boot is sticking...then the switch ( 67854-98) itself.

less likely but the speedo could also be the cause


the code will set if the switch is "closed" for 2 minutes or more

I had to replace mine because it stuck and reset my trip meter when it got wet. The switch was about $12 and I had to solder it in myself. Not to big of deal if your going to work on your own.

Spray electrical contact cleaner into the switch and see if that helps before you buy another switch.
