      Hey guys. Sorry for not posting much recently been busy getting the DT on road and insured and working.
      One thing I've noticed, my revs work spot on, my Speedo tells me what speed I'm doing, my trip works fine, but my mileage just kinda goes up or down by a couple of points while I'm riding. No big amount of mileage shift but it definetly doesn't go up. My trip is currently at just under 80Miles, but my mileage has varied between 10,999.9 and 10,999.3 so thought I should ask if it's something simple like a loose connection or fitting before I just order a new part.
      Many thanks in advance guys x

        @edfrearson it's all mechanical as far as I know and non serviceable. So sounds like something on the internals aren't working. Luckily odometer isn't an mot requirement as far as I know. So long as you know what speed you are doing you should be good to go.

        Always Originate, Never Pirate!

          They come apart quite easily. It’s worth having a look at yourself. I’ve had mine apart for cleaning and maintenance...

          They go for stupid money on fleabay, so I can’t imagine what retailers would ask even if they were available...

            @spookdog cheers guys, I will take it off and take a look at it tomorrow. Sorted out a couple of issues in the exhaust recently, trying to order a new idle screw which is tiresome. Awkward threat size so I may have to buy a screw and thread it myself 🤔need to find some DT riders around my area if there are any on here to go out with

              The tripmetre knob unscrews clockwise...
