I was gonna buy a dual speedo for road king, it has speedo and tach. It is used and has 29,000 miles on it and my bike only has 5,000. Is it possible to recalibrate it?

 

The simple answer is no, at least not without sending it to the factory.
If you order a new speedo from the dealer, they have to send the current mileage to the MoCo to have it programmed before the speedo ships.

Something to do with the Feds getting uptight about mileage fraud........

 

Apples to oranges I know, but I just put a new dual speedo tach on my fatboy, and all I had to do was plug it into the ecm and it copied the mileage from the ecm to the new tach. Didn't have to send mileage in. With the new one's, after you've driven 30 miles, that speedo is married to your ecm forever, and you wont be able to install it on another bike and copy the new bikes mileage. Not sure if it's the same deal for you with the one you're looking at, but might be something to think about as well.

 

I think not b/c everything's controlled by computers now-a-day. Can't put 'er on the reverse drill anymore (remember those days... ). I'd start w/your local HD service shop, but might have to defer this one to big bro HD. Good luck!

 

Go ahead and buy it and have it installed in 24,000 miles..

No most speedo’s give you 100 mile to set before no more re-cal’s allowed? Buy a new one.

 

The MOCO will not re-cal a used speedo.

 

I was told by the dealer that starting with the 2012's, the mileage is in the ECM. You can install any speedo and it will display the correct mileage. But of course dealers have been known (on rare occasion) to be wrong.

 

I've been trying to find out what year the ECM married to the speedo but nobody really seems to know.

 

Block up the bike, wedge your belt sander under the front wheel spinning it in reverse?
