Hey all.

Just picked up a 2013 FLSTC and it didn't come with any manuals or anything.

Never had a back with anything more than a speedometer and odometer.

This has a clock, and all kinds of mess.

I saw videos on how to adjust the clock and so on with slightly older models with a function button but I don't see a similar function button on mine.

Is there a manual online on how to access this stuff?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new (to you) bike.

You can obtain your Owner's Manual online. It will explain how to access all the functions of your speedometer.

Harley Owner's Manual

If you plan on doing any service yourself, I would highly recommend getting the Service Manual for the 2013 Softail. That isn't downloadable online. You have to purchase a hard copy from a dealer.

 

You can access the owner's manual online if you register your bike on the HD website:

I have a 2016 and I think the operation is the same, here is what the manual has to say:
Odometer

Pressing the trip switch with the ignition switch in any position activates the odometer reading.

The odometer window (3) in the speedometer face also provides the following selectable displays:

Odometer
Trip odometer A
Trip odometer B
Fuel range
Time
Gear number
Tachometer
Press and release the trip switch to cycle through the displays.

Trip Odometers A and B

See Trip Odometers, Tachometer/Gear Selection. To check mileage or to reset trip odometers, the ignition switch must be in the ACC or IGN position. Press and release the trip switch (1) until the desired trip odometer register, A (2) or B (3) is displayed. An A or B in the upper left of the display window identifies the trip odometer.

To reset or zero trip odometers, have desired (A or B) odometer in display window. Press the trip switch and hold for approximately three seconds. The trip odometer resets to zero.

Tachometer/Gear Selection

See Trip Odometers, Tachometer/Gear Selection. Press and release the trip switch to cycle through the odometer displays to select the gear number and the tachometer display. The odometer shows the current gear (1-6) and the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).

When the transmission is in neutral or the clutch lever is pulled in, the gear number is blank.

Time

Press and release the trip switch to cycle through the odometer window displays to the time display. To set the time:

Turn ignition switch to IGNITION (IGN) or ACCESSORY (ACC).

See Time Displays. Press and release the trip switch (1) until time (hour and minutes) is displayed. Press and hold the trip switch until 12H (2) begins to blink in the speedometer display window. Release the switch.

Press and release the trip switch once to advance to a blinking 24H or military style time display. Each time you press and release the switch, the display switches between 12H and 24H.

When the desired time style is displayed, press and hold the trip switch until the hours display (3) is blinking.

Press and release the trip switch repeatedly to advance the hours.

When the correct hour is displayed, press and hold the trip switch until the minutes display (4) starts blinking.

Press and release the trip switch repeatedly to advance the minutes display.

When the correct minutes are displayed (5), press and hold the trip switch until the display advances to the selection of AM or PM (6).

NOTE:
AM or PM does not appear in the regular time display. The motorcycle uses the selection for diagnostic purposes.

In the 12H display, AM or PM flashes. Select AM or PM with the trip switch. Press and hold the switch for five seconds.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

Fuel Range

See Odometer Window Displays. The fuel range display (1) shows the approximate mileage available with the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.

With ignition switch in the ACC or IGN position, press the trip switch until fuel range is displayed, as indicated by the letter "R" in the left side of the display. The calculated remaining distance (miles or kilometers) to empty is displayed, based on the amount of fuel in tank. Range can be accessed at any time using the trip switch.

 

+1 on Bone Doc's recommendation.

The first thing all new Harley owners should buy is a service manual.

 

Going now. Thanks! Didn't even occur to me these could be had online.

 

Worked like a charm!

 

The softail may be new to me, but HD isn't. I typically get one for every bike I own as I tend to do much of my own work. Not in this case as I just brought it home yesterday. It's good advice either way.
