A brand new bike , not something the dealership checked before delivery to you .My Limited runs at 32,plus minus a couple depending on the outside temp, always has right from the beginning. Hopefully just a faulty gauge, but they need to check this out for you .

I should have mentioned this as well... Oil level is good, turn the bikes power on and it jumps from 0 to 60 with just the power on. then it stays the same even after its started up.

Fuels gauge is accurate...
I am going to take it to the dealer but it might not be open this week. I am in Italy and everything closes this week for vacation. if not would you guys ride it? Like i said it is running fine and the oil level is where it should be. I am assuming it is a sensor or teh geauge itself since it heppens even when the motor is not running. Wondering if maybe a conection came loose....

Sounds like the gauge is bad. I had a bad voltmeter that acted the same way. WOuld peg as soon as you turned on the switch and stay there.

My mistake the connection might be crossed with your volt meter...I would ride it...I think you have a crossed connection.

that might make sense, i noticed my volt meter moves alot depending on idol or throttle, and it is a brand new battery.
I am going to ride it to the dealer and hope they are open. if not i am going to keep an eye on it, enure the oil levels are good and ride. hell, most Harley's dont have an oil pressure gauge.
