K9 history-download data

[Nomad2day]

Interesting. I'll have to get some clearification from the factory on this. I don't think EHC has anything to do with it. Laptop is plugged into the ignition to download this info.

I emailed both ThunderHeart and Olmster at the BD factory with some questions on the readout and will post their reply's when I get them.
Interesting information for all of us. :2thumbs:

Hope this transfers OK--this is the printout referenced earlier in this thread--for the 08 K9

Another calculation...

If you lost 5,000 miles that would make your mileage 70,000. So, if you use those numbers you get 70,000 miles divided by 900 hours which would put your average speed at 77.7 MPH!

In reality there's time spent sitting still at idle, riding 25 to 35 MPH through towns, higher speeds on the highway, and everything in between. A more realistic average speed (and this is a guesstimate) would probably be more like 30 MPH. Since the mileage is most likely accurate that would mean the time is way off and would have to be something more like 2,333 hours!

Kind of makes you wonder what the parameters really are that the EHC is recording doesn't it?

DR, I just heard back from the factory. Seems according to my bikes history that my ignition module was changed out by Coast Choppers back when I was in San Diego so all that data is lost now. I don't remember having any ignition issues so guess they swapped it out during a service and some testing.

So that fits in with why I have more miles than hours.

Also got a reply from Thunderheart which stated that they can't answer my question as the ignitions are licensed to BDM.

There you have it.

Doesn't look all the ragged out to me. I think you're good to go.

Thanks for the follow up Ray! Plus you learned that your ignition module is not the age you thought it was!

Now I'd be curious as to why they switched it out and didn't bother to tell you...
