Odometer not tallying miles vs km - SV650.org

MisterTommyH · 29-05-13, 07:58 PM

I use fuelly to keep track of my fuel and my last fuel up in the UK was 23117 miles. When I changed over to km so the speedo was in km/h and noted my odo reading so I could up update it when I got back my first reading was 37144 km.

Now this converts to 23080 miles, or less that my previous fuel up.....

This isn't the first time I've noticed this - the same thing happened when I went to France last year. The worst thing at the moment is that it c0cks fuelly up with the first fuel on a foreign trip having a very low MPG and the last giving a very high MPG.

My concern is that there may be something more to it. If the odo doesn't match is the speedo conversion also out? Could this be a sign of a changed clock or something?

Any ideas?

If you leave it on KM you get a low milrage bike by next year.

Might switch mine to KM, its like clocking the bike, only easier

Unfortunately it goes the other way when changed back to miles...... Only thing that seems to make sense is that km wasnt zeroed against miles when it started.....
