    does any one else have this issue?

    my f6 is in the shop for the brake recall.

    since it's in now, i am having them try to resolve my trip odometer reset issue.

    here's the symptoms:
    as i ride along, i hear the beeps from the radio (as if i'm hitting buttons to change stations or check the temp)
    i watch the odometer it sometimes resets trip-a, sometimes it changes from trip-a to trip-b, sometimes it lasts long enough to reset trip-a then change to
    trip-b and reset that. almost always after that happens, the buttons in the group of 4 do not function at all (meaning, i can't display the temp when i hit the
    info button. usually, if i hit the setup button (and get an "invalid operation" error), i can get the temp to display.

    they called me yesterday to tell me the brake recall was done but they couldn't diagnose the trip odometer issues, and then he says "wait a second, my mechanic just
    yelled that it's malfunctioning as he was putting it back together" and he said he would call me back.

    so, he calls me back, and says "the button group won't allow the display change from trip-a to trip-b and back", to that i told him, yep, that is one of the symptoms to this issues and
    that those functions do not return to normal until after the bike is shut off for some period of time.

    and that's where i'm at now.....

    any one else? have this issue?

    I have noticed that mine will reset the trip meters without me touching the buttons.
    The most important things in life aren't things.

    Tell Einstein to swap out a button group and check the harness connector for bent pins, socket connectors and pinched wires. Not a hard place to start.

    Loose wire or a bad board/switch, have you torn your headset apart to work on another project before?

    yea, i told them i disconnected the button group to check on a faulty button or that harness, no change....

    i'm guessing i will end up having to live with it because they won't want to change out the expensive display module (that's what i believe the problem is)

    Sounds like a bad ground. Battery connections tight?

    Buddy you don't have to live with anything as long as that warranty is in effect. If they can't fix it now ask for a loaner. Its been my experience that when it stars affecting them they get smarter and become more driven. Stand up for your rights and demand satisfaction.
