Is the mileage memory stored in the clocks or in the bikes brains?
I do believe on our (older bikes) its stored in the clocks which means you can buy a 2nd hand set (with lower mileage on) and swap the instrument cluster.
I think newer BMW's store it in the bikes brains- I heard of a guy that did similar stupid miles to me but wanted to sell the bike on with lower mileage, bought a brand new set of clocks off BMW (£350+) plugged it in, turned the bike on and *zing* clocks all flicked to correct current mileage! Haha, serves him right for trying to con someone!
