OPERATION While running, MM flashes the hours for 2 seconds every 10 seconds. MM displays constantly for 1 minute at start-up, and 2 minutes at power-down. MM also records the installation date (yyyy/dd/mm) when run the first time for more than 3 minutes. This date is then stored and displayed quickly at every start-up, before the unit reverts to displaying hours. This feature is particularly useful for: • A new buyer purchasing a second-hand machine. It tells them when the MM was fitted, and thus provides a reference for the hours displayed. • Repair shops that have performed maintenance work on a ’bike. It provides a warranty check date for the work done, if the MM was fitted at the same time. If the MM was already fitted then the service work can be referenced to the hours displayed. Most shops we deal with are fitting a MM on every new machine sold.
