    9's or 0's

    So when filling up, I always click my trip odometer round to 999.9 instead of 000.0 as it seems to click over and line them up a lot nicer, so have at it, are you a 9'r, or a 0'r?

    thats the thing though, 000s is imperfection cos they dont't line up perfectly, you get some digits halfway between numbers, could just be my bike though, the poll is looking that way...

    Digital: when I fill it up, it automatically resets it.

    "It" automatically resets it? Is there two trip meters?

    Once you get it on 0000 just take it around the whole lot again, the number settle much more evenly the second time around

    Yeah, dash automatically resets trip counter 'B' when you fill it with gas.

    So you gas up and it (assuming you use it for range calcs) resets your trip meter? I (manually) do that every time, but I would be surprised to see a manufacturer take over the trip meter and insist it was done. Curious.
