2013 Iron 883 4000 miles.
Went for a pregame ride. All started well. Noticed that when I was going 50mph my speedo said 30 or so gave it gas and the mph started bouncing around. The speedo would show the correct mph then drop to zero. Also the fuel light came on momentarily and went away.(Full tank). The fuel sender was replaced recently because the light would not turn off. It seems to be idling weird now.

Check for diagnostic error codes? I have read about the speedometer misreading, but I forget the specific diagnosis. Always check your ground wires and battery connections too.

Still under warranty. Forgot to mention while it was acting up I did not register any mileage meaning I drove at least 10 miles without the odom changing. Just checked the diagnostic code and got this:
P0505 PN 32142-07C

Update:
So I let the bike sit and let it cool down. Went for a ride all was good. As soon as the bike got to "running temp" it started all over again. Went to my buddy's house and BS for a bit. Bike cooled down and all was good. WTF.

Step 1:
Check both ends of both battery cables for clean and tight.
Step 2:
Let the dealer take care of it under warranty.
