Do odometers still reset themselves after a certain mileage?
I bought a 2012 Honda CBR 250r recently and it had 44,000 miles on it (impressive I know). I let somebody borrow her for a couple months and when they gave it back to me the odometer said it had 224.0 miles on it… The person that borrowed it claimed that the odometer literally resets itself after a high number of mileage. The odometer is digital so I don't understand how this could be.
I'm also trying to sell the bike now and it looks like fraud since the title says 40k miles versus the odometer reading 224 miles.
Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you
999,999
No, odometers don't reset, and tampering with them is illegal.
The 224 miles is probably the trip odometer, which you can reset and start new when going on a long trip and want to record the miles for it.
but the main odometer that shows total mileage does not reset.
NO
That's not true unless the odometer has only 5 digits or it's gone more than 999,999 miles. Are you sure that isn't the trip odometer?
Download a manual, read what it says about cycling through the functions on the dash. You likely have one or two trip odometers which you can use for navigating or just working out the distance of a trip. And then you have the total mileage. You might also have a clock in the same range of functions.
It doesn't reset. It's illegal for it to do so.
If stooges like you would read their owners manual they'd find out there's a trip odometer to use for checking gas mileage or the distance you have driven between oil changes. The little button on the instrument cluster zero's the trip odometer.
Hi are you really that stupid it has been tampered with so might not be all the bike you leant this person as it could have been in a very bad smash.
Only if you do a 100, 000 miles with an analogue odometer. I believe a digital display keeps clocking up the miles as does a car display.
Are you sure your friend hasn't changed the unit after an accident?
Perhaps you should learn how to use your gauges, and how to switch between the total miles and the trip odometer. The 224 miles is obviously a reading from the TRIP ODOMETER.
- Can I reference a park, or a certain car brand in my novel? I'm writing a book where the charceter is on her way to a certain park, in Dana Point, and she receives an amber alert referring to a certain car type. My question is if I can name the park and car type, as actual names that exist in real life? For example I'd want to use Herritage Park, and Honda Odyssey, but I don't know if I can.
- My honda activa has started losing mileage just after 2 k km - what should I do/check? Initially my activa was giving around 40 km/lit, in city conditions, but since last 100 km the mileage has dropped down to @ 25km/lit; also if the engine is left idling the speed drops and then the engine stalls/stops. Could it be a dirty carburettor or/and something else. I have not changed the grade of fuel or the petrol pump station. Also this has come to notice since my last free service, done in June'14. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
- O3 honda cbr954rr, trying to find certain bolts- not sure what they're technically called? Looking for new ones and having trouble finding them online. Not sure how to word the search. Replacing head gasket. It's the main bolts that hold the head to the engine block. There's 10 of them.Talked to a honda dealer and they said its just called washer bolts but cost $75.+ tax through them. When i search washer bolts even adding engine, head, cylinder head etc. Still find nothing. Anyone know where or how to find them?
- Looking for a certain bike? Long story short, I love the CB750. I find those 4 into 2 exhaust system fine as hell and like the standard style, but I'm a small guy who can't confidently reach the ground on it. Yet, I'm finding my CB250 to be too small. Now it doesn't have to be Honda, but are there any under 20 year old bikes like the CB750 but smaller? Or even an American equivalent to the CB400SF? TLDR: Looking for Inline 4 non crotch rocket for a short fella.
