Unwanted km?

[The Singing Chef]

Hola,

So i have been thinking about all the people who use their Km reading to judge when to fuel up, and then set it back to 0. That's adding on alot of K's that would devalue the bike even more. Does anybody do that or am i just having obscure musings?

Doesn't your bike have a trip meter ?

Wha..? Errmmm..Non comprende

[The Singing Chef]

I have a fuel gauge so i don't bother with it, and sorry meant the trip meter it's been a long day at work, but i have known some people who reset their trip meter therefore adding x amount of k's. does that make more sense or should i get some sleep?

Yeah - can I have some?

I have a honda, their tech is still in the stoneage, so I have to use my trip,

but that doesnt add any Km's... you turn the little dial goes from 0000 to 9999 ...

so you put on it on 0000 then ride 220km fill up and set it back to 0000, I dont see how that add's km

[Taz]

Nope. Still not making sense SingingChief. Do you believe that everytime you reset the trip meter that those km's have to go somewhere and where they go is to your odometer?

I can take a photo of mine and show you,

there are two counters, mine has one at the top which is almost 50,000 then one below it, the one at the top is my odo reading, the one under it is my trip meter, when turning the trip meter the odo reading doesnt change.

[The Singing Chef]

Yea i know what it looks like, i was under the belief that once it is linked with the total reading. Guess not, question answered.

[Taz]

Well they don't ya know. They go to the same place odd socks go. Somewhere there's a huge pile of used numbers ya nong!

[slofox]

The trip meter has nothing at all to do with the odometer. Completely separate units which have no effect at all on each other.

Yes. Your thinking followed an obtuse tangent for sure. Creative though.

Reminds me of the time when I had an animated discussion with Mrs Oakie about the fuel in reserve. "But if you never go onto reserve doesn't that fuel go stale?" she insisted. Huh? It took a couple of minutes of minutes to realise she thought that reserve was actually a small reserve tank in the tank.
