Is it legal to do the exact opposate? The odometer portion of my bike is broken but everything else works, so when I get a new dash is it legal to adjust the new dash to my bikes kms? (160000)

now that's an interesting question. when I sold my Katana everything was frozen, odometer and trip meter locked up when I hit 99,999kms. Even though I did roughly report the mileage a year later at 116K.
Did the viffers do the same or is it just broken?

Viffers odometers roll, but this one displays nothing. the trip gauges work etc but only the odo is broke.

Remember back in the day when you could disconnect the transmission feed to the instrument panel and drive without a speedo or odo?
Well they certainly ask my odometer reading, when I buy my new plate sticker every year. They might be a little suspicious if you report 10K Kms after your first year of ownership then 5K Kms a couple of years later, when you sell it.
It's entered into the computer. Even the Service Ontario kiosks ask for it.

They have asked me for it, but once I point out it is not needed for motorcycles they skip it.
Note quite accurate. They dont ask for it for renewals but it is recorded and assocoiated with the VIN. If you try and sell the vehicle to someone with a lower than previouse reading you will get flagged and wont be able to sell it. Or at least the sucker wont be able to transfer it into their name
That statement is very inaccurate.
I see it happen with cars every now and then and it's never been an issue.
I don't believe its illegal to roll back the OD, i believe its illegal to roll back the OD and them sell it as correct mileage.
I have a restored bike with a NOS speedo, i just took a pic of the the original speedo with the correct mileage, and them just add the two up for the MTO ( or the new buyer if i ever sold it ) Not disclosing the correct mileage makes it illegal.
Upon selling the bike , i will provide the picture of original speedo, add the new milage and state this on the bill of sale, i will have a copy for the buyer to sign

If you run CarFax (or bikevin) on the US bike, the mileage does get recorded.

They don't care about motorbike mileages at all. When I got my new stickers, the dude working there told me when I asked him why he didn't ask me for my bike's mileage.
