This instruction sheet refers to service manual information. A service manual for this year/model motorcycle is required for this installation and is available from a Harley-Davidson dealer.
If the vehicle is not equipped with ABS, the gauge must be updated to disable the ABS telltale using the Digital Technician service tool by a factory-trained technician at a Harley-Davidson dealer.
Removing the Old Speedometer
NOTE
For vehicles equipped with security siren: Verify that the Hands-Free Fob is present.
| 1. | For ALL vehicles: Turn the ignition key switch to IGNITION and record the odometer reading. | |
| WARNING To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, remove main fuse before proceeding. (00251b) | ||

Lift the console from the fuel tank, turn it upside down and lay it on the covering. NOTE If necessary, bend back the flexible metal clip to free the harness conduit from the underside of the console. | |
| 4. | Unplug the 12-terminal connector [39B] from the back of the speedometer. Press the external latches, and use a rocking motion to separate the pin and socket halves. | |
| 5. | Remove the back clamp. Gently pry the three latches upward to release the back clamp from the back of the speedometer. | |
| 6. | Lift the console and remove the old speedometer from the console. Discard the old speedometer, but retain the rubber gasket and back clamp for use with the new gauge. NOTE Set the console securely on the protected top of the fuel tank, and take care that it does not fall off during the following operations. | |
| 7. | Set the console securely on top of the fuel tank. |
Installation and Final Check
NOTE
Apply window cleaning fluid or mild soapy water to the speedometer gasket as needed to aid installation.
| 1. | Turn the console over, facing upward. | |||||||||
| 2. | Place the speedometer gasket into position around the console speedometer bore. | |||||||||
| 3. | Fix the new gauge into the bore so that it fits snugly against the rubber gasket. Rotate the gauge into approximate visual alignment. The back clamp will complete the alignment. | |||||||||
| 4. | Turn the console over, face down. | |||||||||
| 5. | See Figure 2. Install the back clamp (1). Place the back clamp over the back of the gauge, aligning the two slots (2) with the console bosses. Press the three latches (3) down until they lock into position. |

| 12. | Check the speedometer and tachometer for proper operation. |
Gauge Initialization
NOTE
Replacing the speedometer/tachometer gauge will trigger a "mileage lock", where the "Trip B" display will conduct a countdown from 50 km (31.1 mi). Once the display reaches zero, the gauge is locked into the vehicle, and if installed on another vehicle the odometer will display "VIN error".
After the instrument is installed, the gauge will require about a half tank of fuel to properly initialize the fuel range (miles to empty) functionality. During consumption of the half tank of fuel, the gauge software will learn the rider's driving patterns, eventually tailoring the fuel range calculation to their unique riding characteristics.
Fuel Fill-Up and Top-Off: When adding fuel to the vehicle it is recommended that at least two gallons be added to properly update the fuel and range displays. If the fuel display does not update immediately after the vehicle is put in motion the fuel and range displays will slowly update over the next 30 miles.
NOTE
After filling the fuel tank, the range function will not update until the vehicle resumes normal speeds.
Press and hold the "Trip" reset switch to toggle between the "mile" and "kilo" displays.
