Yeah, that's what happens when the cluster is removed unfortunately.
That's interesting. I've seen used ECU's for sale before, but never a mention of its mileage.
Then again, if mileage was stored in the gauge cluster, you'd think used clusters would mention mileage.
That's it ... I've decided it's actually stored in the cloud.
again, I disagree.... the gage cluster does not store info...as far as i can tell..
tests of function pertaining to odometer, fuel level, miles, trip meter, and speedo, all require installing an adapter (Canbus) to test function of the Display, and the display only...
refer to FSM section 16
specifically section 16-80 were it specifies the test parameters, and also which require input from ECU...
tests #11 and above, require the cluster to be plugged in, and adapter used...
page 16-85 outlines the can adapter install
page 16-91 outlines speedo, odo, and trip meters...
you could disconnect the gage cluster, and also get data on fuel usage, odo, and trip, directly with the KDS3...
there are notes in the testing of those functions in the "normal" manner, that the odo, and related functions Cannot be manually reset to zero during those tests...
just sharing...
Now, I would actually, if it were MY bike, unplug all the connections from the ECU, and re plug them all back in... and see what happens... a bad or marginal connection in the CAN circuits would impact the functions..
But with what his display is showing, Im thinking there is a bad pwb in that cluster, with either a short. or moisture. because its trying to invoke multiple functions simultaneously on the screen.

My 09 does the exact same thing for over 3 yrs. It ONLY happens when sitting in the hot summer sun and shinning directly on the cluster.
After I ride it a bit (less the 3 miles) it clears itself up (probably get cooled from the movement of the air.)
I now just lay my riding gloves over the cluster, no issues when covered.

Did you look at the pics in post 1. This is not the sun fading issue.
I sure did Conrad,
I get some of my digits missing and just not legible. As I noted it happens whenever I leave it in direct sunlight. Ay high ambit temps.
Cheers

My display fades when the sun shines on it for too long but it's the entire display, not just some of the digits.
You sure it isn't your eyes, ol feller?
The cluster is where the ODO is stored. I have had my cluster replaced. It started back at Zero. I reinstalled the original for pics and its mileage popped up. The reason for my change was to change from MPH to KPH. So both clusters are working properly. This is on a 2010 ABS US Market bike.
