    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Trip Odometer often will not reset

Like the title says, a lot of the time when I hit the button after fueling up the miles don't zero out. Sometimes if I push it a bunch it will, sometimes it just won't. Is this something I can get at and fix? Am I just stuck with it that way? The cluster is off an 83 1100E
 
I'm interested if anyone has a fix for this too as mine does the same thing. Sounds like it's an 82-83 gauges thing.
 
I suppose I should feel glad I'm not alone? I'd rather fix it, though!
 
so its some little bit inside stripped form years of use
Hard to fix considering all the old ones you might buy are likely on the way out if not worn out too
Cant you just learn to count?
 
There is a reset mechanism at the bottom of the speedo. The push button pushes on a lever that disengages the trip odometer and allows it to reset under spring action. Your is probably gummed up and needs some cleaning. They come apart pretty easily once you get the back of the gauge pod off.

Take the opportunity to swap out the idiot lights for LED while at it.
 
Popslayer for the win! I'll give it a shot. jeeprustyfor the lose! I can't not won't not count!! This is MURICA!!
 
I'm a counter too. On the 850, it seams like the the "5" is deformed or melted? The trip odometer will roll around to the 5 then just click... no further. I do have a fuel gauge and a reserve, so not a big problem.
 
Mine wouldn't reset when I gassed up today, so I tried again once I was under way. BINGO!
