Did you change your map ...? If so, look at the documentation for TTS ...? When I changed the map for my T-MAX after swapping cams, I didn't notice the speedometer setting was not the correct one for Dyna ... I had to link to the module and change the input for speedo ... not sure whether it could possibly be a setting on the TTS ...?

Off hand ... not sure what else might be causing it ....

Are you getting power to the speedo or is it completely dead?

One time I had my dash apart and when I reconnected the speedo I didn't seat it 100%. Double check the connection first.

The needle moving sounds like something needs to be reset. I remember watching a TTS install video very recently and that was mentioned once or twice.

The T-Max has a speedometer calibration programming mode ... not sure if the stock ECM has the same feature (don't have my manual with me) ....

Steps are: enter the speedometer calibration programming mode by turning the ignition power on, while holding the throttle wide open. DO NOT START THE MOTORCYCLE with the throttle fully opened. The Speedometer value will begin to climb if the programming mode is properly activated. The speedometer value (mph) will begin to rise in increments of 10 mph. Release the throttle when your speedometer reaches 20 MPH (for 2006-08 Dynas). The speedometer will freeze on this calibration value when released. To program the new value in the ThunderMax ECM’s memory, simply activate the hazard flashers. After a second or two, the speedometer value will drop back to zero. You are now finished and can de-activate the hazard flashers.

You might check your manual to see if there is a similar procedure or simply give it a try ....
