I have a 2003 Screamin' Eagle Road King. The speedometer has started going on the fritz. I will be riding and all of the sudden the speedo shuts down and the bike will die on deceleration if you do not stay on the throttle. I have already tried replacing the speedo sensor. Obviously no luck. The tach also drops out along with the odometer. Please help if anyone has any suggestions.

 

uh, not sure it's a speedo problem but something more serious. Anyone else wanna chime in with a 03' SE ?

 

System Relay, TSSM, ECM.....

Could be any number of major components...

Or it could be a simple loose wire or ground.....

This is where the Electrical Diagnostics manual comes in.....

 

My bike's speedo acts erratic at times, so I just pull out the speedo sensor on top of the transmission and clean the gunk/shaving off. Works good as new for about 10-15,000 miles. You'll be suprised at how much gunk comes out.

 

Yea I have similar problem on my Sportser. It even shoots me two codes, both which indicate a bad VSS. SoI change it, same chit. Run the bike down to the Dealer and they check it out, with something called a Cutout Box? They say it passes all test, that it "may' be the speedo. WTF kinda **** is that? It "may" be the speedo? When you buy a Harley, you are on yer ferkin own if it is more than Oil Changes and Brake pads.[:@]
