Speedo took a dump   Printable Version Harley Davidson Forum >> General Harley Davidson Tech Forums >> Electrical/Ignition/Tuner/ECM/Fuel Injection >> Speedo took a dump Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> Speedo took a dump - 5/5/2008 5:34:25 PM    PB565   Posts: 27 Joined: 6/25/2007 Status: offline Wierd scenario. Riding home today and I look down and see the speedo is is on zero and the security light (no security system), check engine light and battery light are illuminated.  Bike ran fine for the rest of way. Got home and turned key and switch off, restarted, all seemed well. Didn't have time to hook up laptop to TMAX to look for codes. Did notice a gray powder coating the underneath of battery. Going to ride to work in the morning and monitor, will check TMAX codes on Wednesday after Patriot Guard mission. Approx 9K miles on bike, maybe battery problem. Is battery covered under warranty w/ TMAX installed? Any insight or advice? Thanks in advance. _____________________________ 2007 Pewter Pearl Dyna Super Glide D&D Fat Cat 2 into 1 Thunder Max ECM Big Sucker AC Corbin Hollywood Solo Saddle Post #: 1 RE: Speedo took a dump - 5/8/2008 1:22:52 PM    mke125125   Posts: 81 Joined: 1/4/2008 Status: offline hey pb. the EXACT same thing happend to me the other day.

Turned out to be a bad ignition switch. Replaced under warranty. End of problem. Hope this helps.

I have taken it to 2 shops and the first observed the waranty and let me go without paying a dime,,The second  worked on the bike and said that the handlebars were to tall for the wiring and made me pay for the labor... When I left both places they said the problem was fixed,so when I got home, the second time I started bike the bus er came up.... It is just acting crazy as hell..I think the ECM might have a bug in it.. Wonder who knows about these things (in reply to ironhosscowboy) Post #: 5 Login OR Register now to post a reply to this forum topic.
