Hey guys i have a 2000 ZX6r, and i have a weird problem i hope someone can help me with, my bike has 199,999 miles on it, thats not a typo, problem is it will not roll over to 200k, anybody know a way i can reset it or get it to continue counting???
Wow. Sorry I can't help and I don't think anyone has seen that kinda mileage but are you still on the original engine? Guessing you've been through a lot of parts!
Just curious- what oil and oil filter did you use, and how often did you change the oil?
Was it a lot of highway miles at 75mph?
How often did you change the clutch plates and have the engine valve clearances checked?
How often did you "race" it- high rpms and wheelie starts? Did you ever drop it? New rotors?
Rebuilt calipers?
For the rebuild, new rings? new pistons? grinding the valves and at what miles?
For your odometer question, every state has a procedure for replacing an old or broken odometer, usually filling out blanks on the title form to state that the odometer was replaced at X miles, so any future buyer is legally notified for the total miles of use.
If I were you, I'd buy a replacement gauge cluster on ebay, then rig up a power supply to the pin of the old cluster and mount that bitch up on the wall in my garage for all to see 199,999. Or, just keep running the old gauge. Your cluster's odometer cannot be reset or deleted.
Jeff, do you really think this guy is going to sell a bike with 200,000 miles on it and expect to get anything near what it's worth to him? I love all your nonsense answers. There's no reason to go through updating a title for something like this. Oi.
Most people would just keep going and leave it broke if their odometer stopped working at 199,999 miles.
I am guessing that the question was asked because of a desire to get a working odometer.
My answer above is the legal answer- the police are not going to arrest you for not doing it.
Many older vehicles have an odometer that gets to 99,999 then goes back to 0, over and over again instead of just one time, probably including this Volvo below (the Chinese now own both Volvo and Jaguar):
