Aprilia shiver GL 750 2009' - Mode button failure

[hammer5]

I'm hoping someone knows the fix on this to save me spending even more money, I've Googled for a few hours and got no results so fingers crossed.

The shiver has an electronic dash with a mode select button to change through digital readouts, ave speed ave fuel consumption etc - i want to reset the displays and the online manual states i simply select which readout i want to reset and press 'in' the mode button. When i do this it does not work, so i assume there is a fault with the button.

Is there a way to fix it without taking it back to a dealers?

Thanks in advance

Is there anyway to establish the button is working or not? ie does it do anything else normally?

Also is it something as simple as depress for a number of seconds...??

There are some shiver owners on here, so you may get some feedback....

Hi Dan, the switch works when you move it to the left or the right but appears to do nothing when depressed. I tried the usual bloke button test of 3 5 10 15 20 seconds but all failed..

No panic with it but id like to reset the mileage so i don't run out of fuel...

Cheers

undo the battery to remove the power, leave for 10 secs, the system may reset itself, works with most things on my car...

Will that not affect the alarm?

Make sure the screen isn't displaying the total mileage (ODO) or it won't work. Change to trip and then try. 2 - 3 second press is enough.

It will reset all the values, not just the trip mileage. i.e. avg fuel, max speed, time (not the clock).

Oldgreg, i will try that again tomorrow, cheers. Will report back on the outcome.

Did you get it working?

Did you get it working?

 

Nope, i tried it on all the different 'resettable' modes for the 2 3 5 10 seconds all failed to reset. I'm thinking there must be a failure in the button itself so it should be covered under the manufacturers warrenty?

Not taking the piss as I've seen it confused on other forums, but you are pressing the mode button on the left are you? And not the engine mapping mode button (the starter button).

If not then sounds like the buttons broken. If your bikes still under warranty then it will be covered. At least it doesn't stop you riding it.

No worries, yes I'm pressing the left mode, I've pressed everything in an attempt.. true it can't and won't stop me riding, no panic..

Still what a beautiful piece of motor engineering..

Well after looking outside this morning and totally disagreeing with the MET office's report that it was torrential rain i took her out on a zigzag both directions (just a very hot sunny day) spin from Rochdale onto the A58 A629 back onto the A628 then onto the A6 stopped at the mini roundabout for left to Chesterfield right to Matlock and went back home.

Used one and a bit fuel tanks and did a decent guess 120m took about 4 hours and got the feel of the bike, great fun.

About 10 miles from home the service light came on so combining that with the faulty switch i phoned Aprilia dealers in Liverpool - where the bike was originally bought from, told them the problems and they want me to pop in to replace the switch/reset the digi readout for no charge as its still under warranty!

Topping that with my son being two today overall its been a very nice day (excluding the aching back from new leathers) :)
