Default code question

I have a 2007 Sportster Low 883 and the number 1200 is flashing. Everything is operating as usual. I know that I do need to change my oil and I will be doing that this week but I don't know what the number 1200 signifies. Can anyone tell me please?

Most likely your in the clock option. It always shows 12:00 till you set the correct time.

Thank you. You're the 3rd person who has said I need to reset the clock. I feel like an idiot sometimes but this is my first American bike I've ever owned and I'm learning much as I go along. Especially from good folks like yourself. Thanks again.

What it really means is that the motor wants a 1200cc big bore kit for Christmas.
