Title: Weird trip reset - Cali 1400
Post by: kballowe on October 14, 2018, 06:31:52 PM
2017 Cali 1400 Tour

Both trip meters have reset at 620-something miles at least twice now.

That's an odd number for a reset.....

Anyone else have this issue?

Many reset themselves at 1,000 miles.  Maybe this thing is still thinking kilometers?  1,000 kilometers is roughly 620 miles, right ?

Yep, 621.37 miles is 1000 kilometers.

But why it does it, I have no idea.

I have been irritated by the same thing . I could only find this in the owners manual. It seems both trip 1 and 2 end at 6.5. if I am interpreting this right.

Perhaps the trip counter only goes to 1,000 km so it resets at 1,000

The native units are km and it converts that to miles for the imperial guys.





I have no idea.


It's a Guzzi, of course its weird

Why would a trip meter ever reset itself? That's ridiculous .

Well ...it may have something to do with it being a Guzzi .....natural but not normal

Half in jest I suggested it only has a counter that goes to 1,000, probably some binary No like 32,000 binary pulses.

Our van goes to 1000 miles and starts over. I *think* the car does, too. I've never checked on a bike, because I zero it at every fuel up.

I had the same "quirk" with my Capo.  It would reset back to zero at the 620-ish area.   At first I thought I was accidentally resetting both TRIPs when trying to do just one of them.   Interestingly it wouldn't reset if you topped off the tank at 600 miles and then started off again.  It would accumulate miles into the 700's (or 800's)...until you stopped again.  Upon next startup,  it was zeroed out.
Yep..  the ole 1000km reset snafu.
When will the madness end!!???

I think I had a vehicle that did that too.  On mechanical it just rolls over.  Digital, all bets are off.

I had noticed this as well.  I usually run trip 1 as a tripmeter and trip 2 for an overall of the ride.  Being that it's all computerish and stuff, I wonder if there isn't a way to either eliminate this or increase it to 10k or something.

Hummm who do we know that enjoys mucking about in these electronics........ ..
