Here's the post where it was mentioned.

I know, I read the post. But I am telling you that we both had ours done on January 29th and we still have the 1/10 position on our odometers. The hubby has 7000 something and I have 31000 something miles. So I dunno what's up with that. :dontknow:

You guys are the best! Thanks for all the positive words.hyea:

That's why I love this place!

I'll have to look into the software update. I just had the dealer service it and do all outstanding bulletins. Hmm.

My suspicion would be that the cluster update didn't take. Perhaps the BUDS was the wrong version, or the tech did a different update. There is no way to keep the odometer from locking up without getting rid of the tenths. There is also no way to know what will happen until it is too late.

Right behind you!

I am right behind you...almost at 5000! I purchased my 1st generation Spyder back in August of 2008 from Woods Fun Center in Austin, TX. Like you, I keep mine garaged and have never had ANY issues with it. Looks and runs like NEW

Ok, this morning on the way to work I finally broke 5,000 miles on my Spyder. The world record is how long it took. I picked it up in July 2008 and just crossed 5K this morning. I ride it nearly every day to work but I only live 3.9 miles from work.

On the plus side, it has been garage kept at home and at work so it looks and runs like brand new. I've never had a major problem with it either. (note the liquid sunshine on the windshield)

I read so many stories here about you iron butts going over 25, 50 thousand, I have to hang my head in shame :bowdown:

It's a record, but a dubious one at that. I'm so embarrassed pps:

:congrats: I agree the ride is fun. That is the big thing. I know a guy who puts 35 K or more every year. All interstate, stops to see nothing. Why ?I used to ride 10K to 12K or more a year, but last year only 7K. You are doing way better then a guy in the Dayton, Ohio paper a couple years ago (2008 ? ). He had a 1981 HD of some kind ( I forgot what). He was a hardcore biker. His bike had 38K on it and he was very proud to say, he had every mile of that on it. :dontknow:I took it a PGR Mission to show the HD people. Their remarks about would make a drunken Sailer blush.
