Speed off/odo not working…any ideas?
Speed off/odo not working…any ideas?
2011 Street Glide. Odometer and trip stopped registering miles, miles to E stopped reading correctly, and speedometer is off around 10-15mph at 65+. Took factory speed sensor out, was clean but replaced it anyways with new one. Also tried two other speedometers as well. Any ideas?

What happened with the other speedometers?
Have you had the bike recently tuned for any reason?

It looks like you have a heavily modified non-factory stock bike.
2011 Street Glide.
What brand of speedometer?
You report:
Odometer and trip stopped registering miles: So the odometer numbers are visible but there is ZERO movement of odometer numbers?
Miles to E stopped reading correctly: Odd since the miles to E are reporting something but odometer is reporting nothing?
Speedometer is off around 10-15mph at 65+. Took factory speed sensor out, was clean but replaced it anyways with new one... So it reads like it is not the speed sensor.
You also tried two other speedometers as well...How were you able to get those speedometers to function? Non factory speedometers? What happened to CAN bus system? I thought speedometer was married to bike.

But even then, around 2006ish I believe, new speedos would count down mileage from about 30 miles to zero, and then they were married to the ECM...
I too am curious as to what results he got with the "two other speedometers" and what year/make they were...
Bike was tuned with Power Vision(I own the unit) at A1 Cycles(Mike Beland) after getting a full top to bottom rebuild by him. Any shot it’s something simple that could be remedied in the PV?
The CanBus system wasn't available on the touring models until 2014...

Original speedometer messed up. Tried two others my buddy had as takeouts from bikes he installed digital gauges in at his shop.

Did the speedo issue happen right after the tune?
If so, there are tables in the tune that are based on gearing in the primary. If he used a base tune from a bike with different gearing, then a simple change to the gear ratio table could fix it...
If the speedo worked well after the tune was added, and started acting up at a later date, then it won't be the tune.
I thought first post was pretty specific. Speedometer MPH is off, odometer/tripometer stopped adding miles, and distance to empty now doesn’t register miles when full(stays on Lo).
