Can someone tell me where the air sensor is located on the 14 tri glides . Mine used to be fairly accurate, but lately it has been off quite a bit. Just thought i'd look & see if anything was obvious. Thanks

 

Not sure about the 2014's but on my 2009 the sensor is located on the left lower side of the frame yoke, just under the fairing. If you have the touring service manual it shows it there.

 

I have a service manual but didn't see anything in it about the sensor. Probably not looking in the right place. I think they moved them from under the fairing.

 

Mine is as useless as the **** on a boar Hog!

 

My 2014 Triglide air sensor was very accurate until I installed v1.19.1.
I don't know if it was the s/with update or something else.
I am going to reinstall my last version of s/with today and see if it makes a difference.

 

Arnie, I tried to find a decent photo of the location on google to no avail. Let try to locate the section in my manual that gives the location of the sensor. By the way, in case anyone is interested, I found the ambient temp gauge totally unnecessary so I replaced it with the oil temp gauge. Much more useful.

 

I just looked in the manual awhile ago & couldn't find it. I'm probably looking right past it. I'll have to give the dealer a call come Monday.

 

Do you find the oil temp gauge inaccurate, do to the "thermostat" on the oil cooler? On my 11 Ultra, it would stay at like 70* until the thermostat opened ... then shoot up to whatever the oil temp was ... if the temp dropped and the thermostat closed, it would go back down quickly. I aways suspected the oil temp sensor was installed incorrectly by the previous owner.

 

Since the '14 TriGlide does not have an oil cooler, I guess there is no thermostat...

So what part# sensor did you use? And how did it connect to the existing harness? Been looking to add an Oil Temp gauge for a while now.

Thanks,

Mark

 

I bought and installed the HD Oil Temp Gauge and kit (about $150). As per the instructions the sensor is installed in the pan next to the drain plug. Thus it is not affected by the oil cooler or thermostat. The gauge is put in the fairing console in place of the Ambient Air Temp Gauge. Normal running temps should be around 230-270 degrees. I've experienced oil temps close to 300 degrees in traffic and hot summer conditions. It should also be brought to mind that the rear cylinder runs about 25% hotter than the front. So anything you can do to get more air to the rear cylinder will help considerably. Installation is not too hard, however as stated in other threads the gauge swap out can be a bit tedious. All in all the oil temp gauge is much more useful than the ambient air temp gauge.
