Default 2006 Road Glide Tach issues. HELP...

Ok ladies and gents.. I sold my beloved softail and purchased a 2006 road glide to molest. I installed a rear air ride kit and now my tach reads really high and just does not act right at all. Bike still runs fine. But I have checked connections and grounds and I can't find one issue. Do any of you have a path I can take? Thanks Rob.

Tach was working properly before air ride instal, but not after? Then something that you did when you installed the air ride is the culprit. You have not checked the right connection to find your problem. The wires that are probably causing you the problem are either the Black or Pink that are running from the tack. Look in your manual, and see what these wires have in common with the electronics from the air ride kit. There you will find the culprit.

I only added a 12 bolt positive and a negative to the bike.

Where did you add it from? Directly off the battery? Perhaps you pinched a wire somewhere. Did you have the tank or fairing off?
