hi there like most people i've been using the trip meter as my fuel gauge and it was going great

i recently took my bike for it's MOT and when i picked it up they had changed it back to the odometer to get the mileage, since then it will not stay on the trip meter and resets itself every time the ignition is switched off?? am i just missing something or has anyone had this problem before? thanks

Sounds like the button is sticking under the rubber cover. Give it a few prods and wiggles and see it that helps

either that or its got wet inside?
might be worth opening up the instrument pod & have a peep inside.

Mine was doing this today as well randomly, may be bad battery connection? Going to investigate tomorrow lunch, but yeah it may be water ingress (I did leave poor stormy outside last night and the cover is crap)

I had this a while back. Turned out to be a loose battery connection. Took me two days to figure that out

i took your advice and had a look at the battery connections and all other connectors i could get to without stripping stuff off. the positive terminal was really badly corroded! to the extent that half of the terminal is missing

any way cleaned it all up and refitted it. trip did not reset after 4 or 5 ignition cycles so fingers crossed and check it tomorrow on the way to work
