Odometer Rollback
08/26/11 at 20:54:08

Is it possible/difficult/easy to roll back an odometer on a Savage? I've seen a few ads lately where a bike is advertised as 2 years old and has only 100 miles or is 4 years old and has only 400. Have not looked at any of them, but it seems a bit of a stretch for miles to be that low. Should I not be overly concerned about miles and just check out the bike's condition as outlined in the tech ref section of this forum? I don't mean to be negative, just want to be street wise so I can better evaluate price vs condition, etc.

I think those are more a case of: Noob buys bike and finds out it is not for them. Possibly has a little mishap with it. Bike sits a couple years as noob neglects it, perhaps meaning to try it again later. Noob finally decides to sell at a loss, which is your gain. Cheesy

That's how I think it usually goes. But look at the tires and make sure they reasonably jibe with the odo reading.

As far as I know, you can't w/o opening the speedo up. which would be evident.

Second bile I have bought dirt cheap from people who think they want to be bike riders but find out different. Check um out! Not hard to tell how much a bike has been used by overall condition.

I just sold my nephews 1965 ford Mustang with a factory built 289 Hi-pro engine and in perfect condition for $5,500. My nephew payed $14,500 but needed the money fast so took the offer.

It has been in the back of my mind to buy a metric speedo and run the odometer up on it to the equivalent amount of km as the current mileage.
