Default Rotating Odometer numbers

I noticed this today...On the odometer, the numbers rotate when they change. For example, when changing from xxxx7 to xxxx8, the 7 will rotate and when it finishes rotating an 8 will appear. I had to watch the 7 (and the road) for one mile until it rotated and changed to 8. Very kool!!

I don't remember it in the 2014s, but I know for sure it is on the 2016s.

Cool, the tach re-calibrates. I missed that on mine when it happened. Now you're good to 6500!
