I have to agree...this is a strange thing to want to do and as TNC mentioned is illegal most everywhere. Only way an odo can be changed here is if it is broken, then there has to be a paper trail showing the previous reading along with the new one. I wouldn't touch it.

Remember this thread? https://www.kawasakiforums.com/forum...ad.php?t=29601 ""So I was leaving horseshoes last night on my bike. I was so drunk I thought I was stuck so apparently I was holding it wide open in neutral for about 30 seconds before somebody put it in gear for me. They said it was running real bad and missing so I check for damages this morning hoping it wasn't running 11 grand that whole time and lo and behold when you hold it wide open it runs up to the rev limiter and then falls back to about 5 grand then stays there. LOL who'd thunk."" |

Sorry it is a 07 with the mechanical gauges. So learjet it is possible then it's not sealed ?
On the same note, you do realize that tampering with the odometer is illegal. Even thou you added a few miles of non-actual driving. I would not tamper with it. I'm sure there is probably about 10 miles of added miles to my odometer from when I got stuck a few times. |

As I read this post I said to myself, "this sounds exactly like that d**chebag that fired everyone up over drunk riding awhile back." And then someone posts that exact post. LOL LOL LOL Its good to know that only one of our fellow forum members thinks this way. I work on auto electrical systems all the time. Instrument clusters being one of those such things. I can almost guarentee this nugget destroys the speedometer/odometer drive mechanism rendering the whole thing useless.
I suggest he rides the bike backwards until he hits the mileage hes happy with. |

Smash with hammer, adjust dials, done!:p

It all depends why he would want to turn them back... There can be a genuine reason for 'clocking' the bikes mileage..
Ive had to do it when my original speedo packed in on an old Ducati & I bought a second hand one with higher millage, so I opened it & changed it to the original speedos mileage.. & kept the original speedo to backup the millage & reasons for swapping them. |
