Strange problem

Recently encountered a strange problem with my 01 FLHTCUI while riding across the country. Encountered a ton of rain for a few days and after that my speedo started acting up. Lost my cruise control for a while. That straightened itself out but now, when the bike is hot the oil pressure guage jumps around sometimes. When it's doing that the bike idles rough also. When turning on the ignition switch it will even jump over to 60 lbs before I hit the start button.One shop told me that a bad speed sensor could do that. My local shop doesn't think so. Anybody had this happen?

RE: Strange problem

Welcome to the forum Southridge. I can't help with your problem but it does sound as if you got somthing wet. You might try asking your question in the General Harley Chat area, it would get more exposure there. Good luck.

RE: Strange problem

Southridge , welcome to the HDF. Sounds to me that something got wet and its either shorted out or really messed up .............. Thats about all I can tell you. You need to post in one of the other Forums maybe someone there knows the answer . Good Luck !
