Speedometer

Just a quick question, is it normal to see some moisture inside the speedometer? I have a 2005 Softail. Thanks

RE: Speedometer

The answer is, unfortunately, YES. It ain't right, and HD won't do anything about it.

RE: Speedometer

Depends.

Had it been raining?[>:] If not you may be experiencing premature speedometer fluid evaporation. YOU BETTER GET THAT THING CHECKED OUT!

Just yankin' on Ya! Nah, it happens from time to time on ALL brands of bikes (except of course those that ain't got speedometers[sm=oopssign.gif]).

RE: Speedometer

The first time I rode in the rain I experienced the same thing. It went away in a few days...
