tripmeter issue; 9 not turning 0 for the 100 meters.

My 250R has almost 28 000 km on the odometer.
Today I noticed that the leftmost numbers on the tripmeter had not turned fully into their position. Also, the rightmost, counting 100 meters, would not turn from 9 to 0. When it was about to turn, i could see the 9 shaking a little,
but not turning away, letting the 0 to display.
I did a reset, and it counted to 9 again, but would not turn to 0.
This happened 2-3 times. After I did another reset, it seemed to be normal, for the next 2-3 kilometers. Then I parked the bike.

Is this probably an early sign that the tripmeter is going to break down entirely, and cease to function?
Thanks.

It does sound like something is slightly off with plastic gearing in there. Have you ever tried to reset it while the bike was moving? Believe it or not, it's a common cause of breaking those old mechanical gadgets.

I'm afraid I have done that sometimes, for example shortly after driving off from a gas station, in the cases when i forgot to do it while the bike was standing still..
It has been behaving well after the mentioned occasions, as far as I have been
able to notice, at least.
I will remember not to try and reset while driving, from now on, hoping that it will last..
Thanks for your message.
