Resetting Odometer

[jimcrom]

I was driving my 2008 and was pushing the mode button cycling through the miles, trip miles, hours and time and the odometer reset to 0 from 64,000 miles. I checked after I stopped and it was not one of the trip counters but the actual mileage. Has this happened to anyone else?

Never herd of that happening. Is it still 0 after restarting from a cold start? If not call it very low mileage. Will help on future resale......

I reckon if you search back thru the older threads, you'll find this mentioned a lot for the pre 2010(I think??) Spyders - it's to do with clocking over 100,000 kilometres! The early Spyders reset the odo at 100,000 kms/whatever miles that is (somewhere about 64,000 miles??) and those who rode that much found out there wasn't anything you could do about it!! But as Tim progressed, BRP fixed that 'un-documented feature' so now it doesn't occur on later MY Spyders.

So you aren't alone, & there's probably a few more Spyder Ryders out there who will find this happens to them/ their Spyders as they get up in the miles, but it's nothing to worry about - consider it free rein to start on doing another 64,000 or so miles/100,000 km!

Yes, I have an 08 as well. Early on it was discussed. You didn't cause it to happen. There was actually a software update to prevent it from happening however once it happens as yours just did. It's s done deal and cannot be changed. It actually reset at 100 kilometers

Jim, when was the last time you had that RS in to a dealer for an update? They came out with the software update in late 2010 and it always surprises me when it catches someone who hasn't had the update.

When you go to sell you'll have to add 62,137 miles to the current mileage when you sign an odometer statement.

We have had some members who have had to change the instrument cluster and wanted to have their mileage added...Can'the be done.. ah well you have to start all over from zero...

Somewhere; Docdoru posted a video that showed his odometer rolling back to zero...

[jimcrom]

It reset to 0 and then just started rolling the miles. I now have 80 miles.
You are right, I can get 2000 miles and sell it in Michigan and no one would be wiser. (JOKE)

Think of it as "Ultimate Recycling."

What is old: is new again!

Now that it has been mentioned, I recall some discussion about the odometer reset.

I wonder if I have to give back my 5,000 mile and 25,000 mile pins?

I was up to over 64,000 and it had been to the dealer so I am sure that the updates were done. I will have to look back in my records to see when the last time it was at the dealer. When I had the alignment and you hooked up buds as part of that, any chance that you did any updates? or was it just the "recenter" of the steering?

I believe the issue was with 2008's. I only got up to 23,500 before trade off--so I don't know if the glitch was still there.

We just reset the steering sensors but sometimes when we hook up to BUDS we get a message that says that critical updates are needed. Whenever I see that I always inform the owner that they need to take it to their dealer for updates. Don't know if they considered the computer update for the odometer critical or not. It just seems that over the years that you've owned the Spyder it would have been updated by your dealer.
