    tripmeter only shows 8's

    my trip meter is showing signs of the dreaded all fat ladies display (all 8,s). i have seen various posting on the web about this problem but no solution other than a german ebay site offering to sell a repair manual, i think! Anybody know the cure?

    Disconnect the battery for 10 minutes then reconnect.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/34,000 miles ridden (of 57,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!
