Ambient Temp Gauge
Anyone know why the Ambient Temp gauge on a Street Glide would not work? I dont want to go to the dealer so soon and get it fixed.
Some else told me that it was normal for these to be bad. Exactly what goes bad?

RE: Ambient Temp Gauge
The guage generally reads about 20 degrees (on a warm day) too hot.
The location of the sensor (inside the fairing) is the problem.
Some people replace the guage with an oil temp guage.
Others move the sensor to outside the fairing.
