Gauges
I've been busy breaking in the new Street Glide and had a couple questions about the gauges.
What does the "Air" gauge do? If it is supposed to give the temperature it is about 30 degrees off.
Also, what should the oil gauge read out to? When I'm idling it is almost 0. When I'm riding it stays about in the middle at 32.
Thanks,
Barry

RE: Gauges
Yep, 32psi is were the oil pressure gauge should read cruising.The Air temp gauge is just to fill the hole until you buy the oil temp gauge. It is a useless piece of equipment, it messures the ambient temp inside your faring.

RE: Gauges
The air guage does nothing....other than tell you what outside temperature is. Completely useless and it is seldom accurate. Replace with oil temperature guage instead.
The oil pressure guage is normal and is acceptable. 32 is perfectly normal and at hot idle.....it can be around 5. If it drops to 0 and your oil pressure light comes on......then stop. Until then, all is normal.

When I want to know whatthe air temperature is, I just stop for a second and see how the skin on my face feels. Kinda like H-D was designing an ultra nice custom bathroom but forgot to design in a toilet paper holder.

Hell it's so hot here the air gauge just keeps spinning! Actually it works like a fan now, I use it to help keep cool.....

RE: Gauges
The air gauge is fairly accurate until you get outside. In the garage, sitting over nite it is pretty accurate but once you are out it loses its mind. Especially if you park the bike in the sun!!! Makes for a lot of 100* days!!!!
