Bike went to dealer (2005 Rocketlll) to have idle problem sorted, trps fitted on factory recall, got it back and after they had plugged in their pc my ODO reads 999999! They are saying it must have been like that when it went in! Any ideas before I go back and try to plug his PC in up his ar*e!

I would suggest you contact an instrument fitter of instrument company that repairs and calibrates auto instruments and ask what would be the possible cause of the electronic odo register digit change..
As far as I know the odo register is like a secured flash memory so it would have to be an internal fault maybe or a voltage shunt (spike) that has damaged the odo memory chip.. sorry can't be more precise..just my thoughts.

Hope it is more simple, good luck.

smack the c--- in the head and then politely ask him to have another look.....generally speaking they see better the second time.....

as far as the how and why.......no fid...do keep us posted on what the stupid c--- at the dealership comes up with.

Considering that the Odometer is is linked directly to the ECU and the twits had to connect to the ECU, a) they did it. b) they may have had a computor glitch or power surge which has caused it with out them know or not wanting to fess up as the cure is probally a New ECU.
Does the Odometer still work, does everything else still work properly, dont let them fob you off. do you have a "deptartment of fair trading" (run by Gov) over there, here if someone tries to fob you off you only have to mention the name dept of fair trade and they usally backpedal real quick
maybe run it by your National Triumph Warranty Manager, there should be bone at Triumph USA, I know you are going to say it is out of warranty but the dealer still has to answer to them and warrant any work he does, that is why is a Triumph dealer because he is supposed to only have techinians who are qualified to work on and are supposed to keep up to date with everything Triumph relatted
