Read Post #25. It shows Service Bulletin M-1351. Look at Figure #1, it shows the location of the Ambient Air Temp Sensor.

Well it must have been a fluke or something I see where the sensor is thx to the above poster and I did not mess with it at all I was thinking it was in the fairing somewhere. I will have to pay attention in my next ride when it gets decent out. Damn rain

I have found mine to be very accurate, much better than my 07.

My 2012 is generally more accurate than wetting my thumb and holding it out. But, not sure why I need to be more accurate than my wet thumb. Yep..it's cold out...yep...its hot out.

Went out for a 100+ mile cruise today and it was off by at least 10 degrees high. It seems like it's always at 77 degrees no matter what. I have seen it change but ever since I did the bars it seems off. Not sure what the bars had to do with it tho because that sensor is not near where I had to monkey with things.

This is the first Harley ever gives me accurate time, mph, odo and temp. It's on the left side on the goose neck you will see a wire connects to it from the front of the gas tank and other end has no wire just a little white nub. There should be one big wiring harness fiber sleeve and right underneath is temp sensor wire by it self in a split loom.

Mine is worthless. Always about 10-15 degrees too high. Anybody ever recalibrate one?

Similar here after the boom audio update it seemed to help coincidentally, but its still off by 5 degrees roughly.
