Default 6th gear light not working

Iwas wondering If anyone else has had this happen to them, my 6th gear light will not come on when I'm in 6th gear. Does anyone have a suggestion on what might be causing this, or if there is a fixI can do myself. Thanks for any info.

Mine still works, after you let the clutch out. Also need to be going about 70mph.
Sorry I can't help.

A light...go figure, I wouldn't mind one, often I find myself shifting up, because I can't remember if I'm in 6th or not. I bet those cagers think my bikes on the fritz becase I'm rolling down the road, let off the gas and try to shift up....but oops, I'm already there. A light would be kinda good I guess.

As far as one not working, it could be the bulb, or the sensor that detects 6th gear. Were ever the heck that thing is.

Yep, my '07 Super Glide has a 6 gear light also. The light is a little "6" that pops up in the speedo when you shift into 6th gear. I don't see mine much (only been in 6th gear once) because I have to be going well over 90mph to use the gear. Any speed under 90mph and the bike just bogs down. I guess it's a nice feature by Harley but I can't see myself really needing it. I was riding yeasterday on the highway and I was in 5th gear the whole way at 80 plus mph. The bike was purring along at this speed in 5th gear.

The light is definitely a nice feature. Although I don't see mine much. Since you have to be going at least 60-65 to use 6th, and my daily commute is all surface streets. All motorcycles should have a top gear indicator. Can't help on the problem, sorry.
