Default Pursuit!

I searched for this topic and couldn't find it in any of the forums so I'll put the question out to all of you. On my 2000 Fatboy, just to the right of my engine light on the dashboard, there is the word Pursuit. It does not light up like the word 'Engine' does when I start the bike. In fact, it has never lit up and is kind of hard to see unless you get at just the right angle, or know where to look. Does anyone know why this is on there? Thanks!

It is there because they use the same speedo unit on the LEO duty bikes. On civilian bikes, there is no power going to the light.

Thanks for the info! Does the Pursuit light just come on when they start it, kind of like the engine light? Or is it something that comes on at high speed, high RPMs, etc?

It comes on when you turn the red/blue lights on via the handlebar control switch.
