Have not a clue. 18320 km = 11383 mi. 21100 mi = 33957 km. See no correlation to your numbers. How do you obtain these numbers? Meaning, what button (s) do you push and in what sequence? I am on my second DT300i and have neither seen nor heard this one!

By holding (5sec aprox.) Mode button I change between km and mph

OK, that's what I hoped to hear. Hey, just because I have never heard or seen this symptom means nothing! There is always a first for everything, right? Still have no idea........ Have you, by chance, checked either or both miles or km distances with a GPS? This might give some ideas.

Maybe its toggling between a trip odometer in kilometers, and the actual odometer in miles. Just a thought, though.

When the display is 'odo' then it is showing the lifetime mileage of the scooter. The other numbers would be the trip meters (there are actually 3). Press and hold 'MODE' and 'SET' at the same time in 'odo' mode to reset the trip meters to zero.

My DT300 must be different from yours, mousejunk. I have three odometer modes: one for lifetime odometer which is not resetable. Another with no designation on the display is for the service reminder distance and resetable back to zero by holding both buttons. The third is the only trip odometer and is resetable by holding both buttons. My DT was purchased in Canada and I believe is the same as all the American imported DT's.

Well, MINE has FOUR (4) odometers! Both my DT300i had four: odometer (lifetime, non-resetable), maintenance (turns on the dreaded red oil light symbol about 600 miles and scares the crap outta everybody!), trip A and trip B. All the last three are resettable. The trips A & B only tally to 1000 miles then revert to zero. I think the maintenance one goes beyond 3000 miles but not sure. His description precludes getting one of these odometers since he just holds the mode button and watches it switch from miles to kms.

I apologize. There is both a Trip A and Trip B. Crossbolt is correct. I just have never used Trip B.

Do not feel like the Lone Ranger, Scrollderf! I have hardly ever used either one, m'self! Just neat they are there. There have been times I have wished for more than one resettable trip when I had to find places based on miles. Now I got it hardly use it!

I drive today 13km with bike and odometer shows 8 mile or 13 km. Also on Trip A and trip B  miles are less than km values. Only problem is how its happend that on lifetime value is km less than miles. If is owner before me for selling purpose taking km down, miles also need to go down isnt?

Could be he figured out how to hack the km to a lower value which may not effect the miles since no pulse inputs were generated while hacking. Use this to lower the price or get money back!
