Default Digital Odometer WTF!

I left the house this morning with 5797 on the odometer and when I got to work it said 5903. I live 6 miles from work and it only took 10 minutes to get here so I know I didn't get in any extra riding time so why would an electronic odometer gain 100 miles. Could one of the LCD segments be burn out already?

Perhaps. Also as there is the odometer and 2 trip meters maybe you hit the button by mistake and are looking at one of the others.

Yeah you probably hit the 2nd. trip counter.

Hopefully you are aware though that there is a mystical time/space/warp defect that occurs with many HD riders wherein we go out for a 10 mile errand and somehow when we get home the bike has thousands of miles on it, we need a shave and bath badly, the kids are grown and the wife is pizzed off about something.

Sir,
If you ride a Harley then yes, you got laid. But you may not wish to know by who.[]

It is a plot to lower trade in values by HD.

I will bet you its your error, those digital odometers are set up so that what you precieve is impossible to happen. To many goverment restrictions on correct keeping of mileage for there to be a way to alter mileage other than by a person with the equipment and skill to go into the unit and recalabrate it.
