Oo nice! More temptation! It is an rx tho
So i have a question about 2014 1190sx I'm dealing on. Got this explanation:
"I meant to say that the dash has been updated and we replaced the ECU on the bike, making the miles say zero (sorry for that). There are 854 true miles on the bike, and it shows 854 miles on the title...."
Should this concern me? It kinda does a but they said they had like 15 EBR bikes, this is the last one left and this was the bike they took to shows. Seems like something hinky with every situation. However they did say that this bike has never been privately owned and still shows LAP as the owner, the liquidator that took over EBR.
It was a phone conversation where he said that some 2014 models had a defect and didn't increment mileage or something so they replaced the electronics. My concern is it means accurate mileage is basically not available to me; no way to know for certain. Convenient for a dealer but I guess we gotta trust somebody with these things. There's always risks.
I'll ask them again in email and post an answer.
I've not heard of ANY issues with 2014s not accurately logging miles. The dashes are crap, but that's not what your guy is claiming.
You could follow up with TIM at IDS - he's posted before about the time interval required that they set up for the dash to be mated to the ECM. My guess would be that they swapped in components and missed the time window thus breaking the link between ECM and Dash. The downside here is that your title is going to reflect 'not actual' mileage and that's got implications for resale value.

I've been out of the loop on federal law for a bit, but historically, if you sell a vehicle whose mileage is known to be different than the dash (odometer fraud) and don't report that on the title, it's a felony (I believe) and the punishments are steep!
I'll have to mention about checking the law about that. It has never had an owner, just LAP.
I asked them to find out the reasoning for the ECU replacement. I also asked if they could write the reasoning up, sign it and provide at time of sale. This should be explanation enough for a future buyer...not there would be one for a very, very long time if ever.
Unless the title is branded "not actual mileage" I wouldn't be concerned at all.
It is a good bargaining point to buy it from the dealer cheaper though! Maybe negotiate a service agreement?
Too bad you don't have cash for the upgrade, and be able to get one from a private party. You would save so much $$...
