It is interesting that there is no coolant temperature check on it.... Amps and oil is fine.

Hopefully it was a fluke and will check out good tomorrow.

I always have the water pump in the back of my mind on my twin cam, but the M8 pump is now being retro fitted to the twin cam, since it's better.

Fingers crossed for you.

So.... Old Faithful... The Beartooth, Cody.... seen them, done them.... I decided to switch it up, got onto the 191, and headed south.... Brand new Road from Jackson south.... I got to Jackson Lake and had lunch with a view... then started peddling south.... and the damn light was on.... I don’t know if it was then or before when I was crawling along because the lead vehicle for a couple of miles was a Buffalo.... I stopped and checked the oil, for coolant leaks, etc.... but it seemed fine.... I dialled into the Nav the HD dealer in Green River and rode on..... she ran fine, I even checked the fuel economy and I had the best I have ever seen... faught the high desert wind, stopped to rest a couple of times and for a few picts .... I will load up in the morning and continue south.... happens again and I will put a piece of Duct tape over it.... heading south for another day... decide then Where....


Best lunch view anywhere...


..... High Plains drifting...


.... I love the high desert, this is where the deer and Antelope play, a migration route, head south in the winter for greener pastures....like many Canadians i know...


.... The Oregon Trail still in use...


.... across the other side of the highway, not so much.
