Question from a new spyder owner

[Warlock]

Was looking at Lamonster pictures and came across this and noticed my miles still indicate in tenths after the total miles. Do I need to have this up-graded or this a recall. Mine is a 08 GS SE5.
Thanks, David (Warlock)

You only need it if you're getting close to 65,000 total miles and you don't want your odometer to go to Zero. It isn't a safety or other serious issue beyond that. The temp adjustment is also a non-issue as it only changes the reading on the gauge. It makes no real world difference other than it seems that your Spyder is running hotter when it is not.

Thanks for the reply. I'll be doing business with you in the future. This is my wifes Spyder. I ride a 99 half breed Valkyrie Tourer

Ah yes! The Valkyrie! My beloved Emerald Green & Cream Tourer. This is me in Colorado on my way to Kansas City (a few years back).

So, now you need this! The Oil Temperature / Dip Stick Gauge for the Valkyrie! (which it just so happens I sell!) :roflblack:

Also, as I understand it, (once the update is done) the tenths digit does not disappear until it needs to - you reach that magic number.

Wait a minute!! You live in TN and were on your way to Kansas City and took the pic in Colorado. I hate to tell you but you took a serious wrong turn probably near St Louis. :roflblack::roflblack:

More likely it means you are a true motorcyclist. :bowdown:

You are correct. :thumbup:

No, it means I lived in San Diego California at the time.... But either way works for me! :thumbup:

I know with a car, if you reset the mileage on your odometer it was against the law in Pa. Did BRP think a Spider would not last more than 65,000 miles:duh: or do you get a new warranty if you do it in less 2 years.:roflblack:
