I seem to remember fro my Honda Auto days that these guys could rest the odo on a new cluster.
Be sure to check with your local DMV as a 0000 odometer may need to be recorded with them along with the mileage at the time of replacement.
Here's what California's DMV has to says about it > [url=http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&urile=wcm:path:/dmv_content_en/dmv/pubs/reg_hdbk/ch5/ch5_13]http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&u...ch5/ch5_13
Just checked with my Honda dealer and insurance agent, both said that there was no issue. The dealer went so far as to tell me that they were forbidden by law to add or subtract mileage to any odometer. The CA DMV regs seem to only apply to cars as they are also smogged and bikes aren't. I'll keep checking, thanks for all the links.
This guy clearly does not understand the law. You are not allowed to change the mileage on an odometer to show fewer miles than is on a vehicle, but to change one to reflect the correct mileage is just fine.
When I worked and an Acura/Audi dealer they would reset the odometers on new clusters all the time and this was when the Audi's had digital and the Acura's didn't. The Audi clusters had one shot to get it right and if they screwed up the programming then a new one was needed so they made sure not to screw it up as that would be a very expensive mistake.
