Got it replaced. All good. However, I have 0 mile on my bike   ;D. I asked the dealer if they not 'burn' the original miles on the meter or put a sticker somewhere on the bike to say it has more miles than what it has.....the answer was 'no'.

I wonder what I should say to the future buyer about the milage?   ::)

Wont the service record indicate that the bike was serviced at xxxx miles? It's documented that you took the bike in for warranty work and I'm sure the mileage was noted on the service record...

You sign the title stating the actual mileage when selling the bike.  If you don't disclose the actual mileage and its discovered you concealed it, it can be quite the fine and potential jail time.  I believe they put it under the "fraud" umbrella of offenses....

As long as you disclose it when you sell it you're fine.

If I sell it 3 year from now to a guy live in a different state, who would find out?  I am not saying I am going to do that, but it seems that this process (replacing the meter) has some holes in it.  That's all.

Tell the truth.  It's no big deal.
