Default RKC speedo
Was wondering if anyone has had similar problem.....Complained to dealer about water stain inside speedo face from condensation. Finally got them to warranty. When i got it back did'nt seem right, had to turn on kill switch to turn on speedo lamp and cruise light did' nt work. besides that my bike now had 4000 more miles on it(didnt get set to right mileage). So got another, miles OK but still no cruise light. They told me that HD had problems with replacement speedos and whenever it was remedeed they would replace it again. Is this true or just negligence on the dealer end. I have had my bike in at this dealer twice and been less than impressed both times!!!

Welcome from Raleigh..... if you have other dealerships in your area, you might try their service depts. Seems like at each dealership, there is a pretty wide cross section of skill levels, you might find better luck with one or the other... warranty work, is warranty work
