Voodoo and (Triple) Black Magic

[ShakeyGS]

I recently had to postpone my bike's service appointment until 27th so I thought I would go through the bike's menu to see where I was mileage wise.

The Bike knows when it is book in for a service

How is this possible? I have never connected anything Bluetooth to the bike so the only external connection it has is the Nav 6 or my GS911 on the odd occasion.
I don't have an SOS thingy either so there's no SIM card that I know of.

How is this possible?

I'm off to find a big pair of scales and a duck!

Could it just be coincidence that the appointment is exactly one year after the previous service?

First service date on mine was completed last year, on board computer told me the next service would be a year from that date. Just had the bike serviced and it has the next service day already programmed in for next year.

No mystery really!?

Last service was 26 July. This year it’s 27 June.

Mine was the 24th May this year next service will be 24th May 2024. Could yours be down to the technician entering in the wrong date?

Nonononono, that's far too mundane a solution

Ring up and change the date. See whether the bike throws a hissy fit. Big brother really is watching you.

You're no fun!
I expect you are right. The guy likely typed 27/6 instead of 26/7.

I know I am. Hopefully you now feel safe to ride knowing [in part] that the devil is not going to jump out and bite you in your ass

Careful now you're going to create a shortage of tin foil
