Title: Adding mileage
Post by: hackers2r on August 19, 2010, 06:12:37 AM
Recently my gauges were replaced under warranty on my S2R.  However, my mileage is now 0 on the gauges although properly documented.  Now all my service intervals are off and I want to correct this.  I know, most people want to go backwards.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I've heard of using a pulse generator ($$$)  Thanks.

speedo on the rear or front?

hook up that wheel  to a starter motor with those rubber wheels. of course take the chain off it it's the rear wheel.

not sure the bike needs to be running or just power on..

it's like ferris bueller!

Trying to remember if your bike uses a sender or a speedo cable.

If it uses a cable, then hook the cable end to an electric drill. Run the drill (in a vice clamp) for the x number of hours needed to wind the mileage back up. The drill should be able to spin up to "100+ MPH" (~2000 RPM) so it'll take about 10 hours for every thousand miles.

If it uses a sender, you should be able to build something similar that triggers the sender too.

Mind you, seems like a lot of work just to keep from doing some simple math.

I believe it uses a sender.  Not sure how to do it with a sender.

how off is it for your service? your bike wont blow up if u do the 6000 at 7500. just do the next next service at the guages indicated.

kind dumb but a few of the places that do the ecu re-flash will also set your gauges for you.

don't know how much or how important  it is to you. try SOS LOCKSMITH IN OREGON i believe. i'm sending my gauges there after this riding season is over so i haven't used them yet but they seem like good guys. i like the sharpie idea too!

I recently changed the instrument cluster on my 748 and went from 19,600 miles to 5800. I keep records on an Excel spreadsheet, so I just added a column that automatically calculates the bike's actual mileage when I input the reading on the new odometer. Unless you routinely do 1000+ mile rides, it won't be too difficult to keep track of your service intervals.

Disconnect the sender, then make something that can be powered by a drill to spin past the sensor to trigger it.

Of course, your bike will have to be turned on, and kept powered by a battery charger or something.

I'll add these are all stupid ideas and you should just do the math  [coffee]
