Oh yeah. Low Range. Sure I've seen that before. {Many times}. Sorry for my ignorance.

You put new dash on bike maybe wire pinched or not secure on fuel switch? But it runs so that should be ok?

Has anyone found, or figured out, any tank trim, or flush mount cap, or anything at all for the new ones? Fxbr/s?
Dayum.......

I have the same issue, been happening for the past year, I’ve never messed with trim. It’s a known issue in the forums with several HDs but for some reason nobody ever seems to come up with a solution. Several people have detailed their visits to the stealership service dept, their solution is always “replace the speedo”, but people still have the issue afterwards. I guess they decide to live with it like I have. I just reset my trip Odometer every time I fill up, and make it back to the gas station before I hit 130 miles.

I’m still hoping someone figures it out.

If you want to experiment with a speedometer, 2 weeks ago I swapped out my stock speedo (3800 miles) for the HD tach/speedo. It's mint.

It's in a box in my basement.

I'll ship it. Make me an offer!

I had the exact same issue with my 2016 Breakout. Took it to the dealer where I bought it and had the service department check it out. They tried several things to fix it like replacing the fuel sensor in the tank, replacing hand controls. Nothing worked. Since it was under warranty, I just kept going back. Got to be a weekly thing. After about the 4th or 5th trip, they put a "Master Tech" on it. He said he traced it back to a faulty BCM. They replaced it and it's been trouble free since. Hope this helps.

So it's a common problem. My bike only has 1100 miles on it too.....

That's good that a new BCM fixed the problem, but that's some shitty engineering if lots of people are having problems. My FP3 doesn't throw any codes for a faulty BCM, but who knows?!?!?! I guess I'll just live with it. I don't think a BCM would be cheap...

Yes, I think it would be costly...I believe a new BCM also requires a Digital Tech. to pair it with the ECM, so the dealer would need to install it, or you'd need to haul your bike to them after you install it, for it to work!!

Guess I'll just live with it. Like I said, my FP3 doesn't throw any codes for it, and the bike runs great. I don't think I'll mess with it. But still, that's some bs for a almost brand new bike IMHO...
