No way to change the mileage, it's hard stored in the gauge.
I believe the hours are stored in the ecu, so that would be accurate.
2016 Arctic Cat ZR8000 - Swapped Gauge Need Help
Hey, thanks for any input anyone can give, have a few questions
First off, buddy of mine crashed my sled, took out everything from the headlight up, got it all back together with all used parts. sled runs fine, only problem is the cluster is now reading 17,000 kms, the sled only has 10,000 on it with the original cluster.
Is there any way to set the new used cluster to match the actual millage of the sled? Only concerned about this for when it comes time to sell the sled, greatly decreases the value of the sled in my opinion.
Ive taken the old cluster apart to try and swap the circuit board, but everything is soldered in place.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

@WIredneck01 , is correct. Mileage is retained in the gauge. Hours are in the ECU, which the gauge then displays.
I run aftermarket displays. I use a paint pen to write the accurate +mileage on the back of the console when I sell. @nmassel , You could do a similar trick on the back of the replacement gauge with -mileage. It's not a perfect system and I probably don't need to make the effort, but I prefer being up front. In your case it can be helpful to remember the offset.
My practice, when looking at used machines, is to check hours. There is a normal average mph that usually gets you close. The number can vary by rider, but in our area it is around 25 mph on most machines. Ask your local mechanic. I bet they can tell you the normal range in your region. I use caution when sleds are out of the norm.

Appreciate the quick responses! I guess I'll just have to deal with it.No way to change the mileage, it's hard stored in the gauge.

Thanks again!
See if nextstage will set the km’s back on the gauge. He has the ability to do it.
