My Sherman S factory reset itself……………

[Skampster]

Including resetting the odometer, out on a ride,stop take a leak, turn machine on again, and everything was back to factory settings, even the odometers had reset. Bearing this in mind should I worry at all about the reliability of my main board. Or is this just a glitch and nothing to worry about, apart from the fact that now it’ll be hard to sell the Sherman s with a resetted odometer.

I've had the wheel reset itself 4 times now in my 2 years and 24,000km of ownership. It seems to like resetting itself on my wheel when you reach around 4000-6500km mark for some reason. Personally I'm not worried and I do think its just a glitch.

 That’s funny you mentioned the 4000-6500km mark, mine had just gotten over 4000km. The place I bought it from are talking to LK about it, it’ll be interesting to see what they say.

my Begode EX20 also reset itself, including the odometer, after a hard crash onto a massive boulder. I wonder what really caused that.

@Clem604 in the 24000kms your S has done, what maintenance did you need to do, and I’ll presume you don’t trail ride or ride in the rain…………

I have done zero maintenance thus far and although I can't recommend not maintining your wheels, after a few thousand km's I wanted to see how reliable it would be without any (also I'm lazy 😅).   I don't ride when it's actively raining but I have been caught in the rain about 5 times in total. Probably 95% of the km's is on the street so minimal trail riding but I've done it a few times.

Side note: the Michelin Pilot Street 2 I had installed when the wheel was brand new is still going strong. It's only almost at wear bars @ 24k km's which is as impressive as its dry and wet handling on the street.

Thanks for that @Clem604 mines the last batch they did before the lynx came out, the batch that had all the improvements included, so I can hopefully rely on mine not having its bearings go like my Sherman max started to do at 5000km. Even if I was to sell it, I don’t know if the S resetting its odometer will be a problem for a new owner. Mines never been on a trail or in the wet.

hopefully your experience will be as problem free as mine as you ride it more. FWIW mine is a batch 2 which was supposed to have a better bearing than the first batch?? Even if I end up getting a Sherman L i think I'll keep the S and see how many km's I can put on it before things start going wrong.

[Skampster]

Well, I’m off to ride the L……………………

Known issue with early SS.

Update firmware if you're not on the latest- in subsequent firmwares, LK made changes to try to avoid the software condition that triggers reset. 

[Skampster]

Mines the last generation SS and it’s been on the latest firmware since it was released, so there goes that theory.
