Fix Odometer issue - zero-ed with flat battery!

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Anthony G is correct. The total mileage is recorfed in a chip that's part of the display module and cannot be reset unless the chip has failed or the disolay module is replaced.
Are you sure you're not looking at the trip odometer and mistaking that for the total miles ? It's possible the previous owner never reset the trip odometer and both were tracking the same mileage.

..... I was going to suggest this as a possibility , but you beat me to it .... I'm not sure I could just get on a GS or RS and know how to work it ..... this may be the case here ..... also I have Little faith in dealers or their Techs ..... jmho .... good luck .... Mike

In the past when clusters needed to be replaced, the mileage from the "bad" cluster was recorded on a tag that was affixed to the frame and warranty booklet. There is no way to add the previous mileage to a new cluster. FWIW

This would be inaccurate, cluster programming isnt anything new & must be done at an authorized facility.

Legal:
Programming the odometer on a part to match the true mileage of the vehicle is legal, as long you are not misrepresenting the true mileage of the vehicle. Here are a couple helpful links to information that will help you understand U.S. odometer laws regarding service and sale of vehicles:

U.S. Code 49 U.S. Code § 32704. Service, repair, and replacement

U.S. Code 49 U.S. Code § 32705. Disclosure requirements on transfer of motor vehicles

Please read carefully and understand U.S. Code 49 U.S. Code § 32705. "Disclosure requirements on transfer of motor vehicles" to know your responsibilities when transferring a vehicle.

Yes, its all legal but the trouble is the clusters in the Spyders are NOT programmable. Not by the dealer, not by BRP. If you replace a cluster, it starts from zero.

True. There are programmable chips. And fixed chips. Ours is the latter. They are not capable of any programming after being manufactured. I have always wondered if it is because there isn't nearly the interest in cheating with a motorcycle as there is with autos and trucks.
