While cranking up my Streetbob, I sometimes see a display on the speedo which goes something like Verr.... it's there only for a fraction of a second and disappears. Any idea what this is ?? Anything of concern ??

That is the results of high(er) than normal amp draw

Possible issues:

Loose / dirty battery connection(s).., and / or loose / dirty- starter / grnd connection(s)

Bttry going bad

Starter going bad (this one the long shot)

Check connection(s) first..., then test Bttry if you don't find a connection issue

Report back - we'll go from there

I wouldn't worry about it. I believe it is for "vin error" when battery voltage drops lower than normal and there is a loss of communication with the spedo temporarily. Both my old Fxdb and my current fxdls do it when it's colder out and it takes just a little more juice to crank the motor. If it started coming on while you're riding it'd be different and you'd want to have your battery and starter draw checked.

+1 one have seen it once or twice when I've parked the bike outside overnight. Confirmed by checking faukt code.

Check your electrical connections, make sure they are clean and tight... .errors are there for a reason.

Battery getting weak, or loose cables. How old is your battery?
