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.
Kit Contents
For vehicles equipped with security sirens, confirm that the Hands Free FOB is present.
This kit contains a combination speedometer/tachometer and an adapter harness. There are no service parts available with this kit.
COPY ODOMETER DATA
NOTE
The gauge will display NO CAL (no calibration) and will not function if it is installed before the odometer copying process is performed.
Sportster® models require the installation of fuel sensor kit (part no. 61200008) prior to connecting power to the gauge. Follow the instructions included in that kit.
- Verify that the engine off/run switch is in the RUN position.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ACCY position and note the odometer reading.
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
- See the service manual and Figure 2. Locate data link connector [91] (2).
- Remove the rubber plug (1) from the data link connector [91] and install the 4-way connector (3) of the adapter harness from the kit.
- Install the 12-way connector (4) of the adapter harness to the new gauge (5). Hold the gauge during the copying process.
- Turn the ignition switch to the IGN position. The gauge will rapidly display the percentage of copying complete. Then the gauge will display CHECK and finally OK. When OK displays, the copying process is successful.
- Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
- Disconnect the adapter harness from the data link connector [91] and the gauge. Install rubber plug.
NOTE
If odometer copy process is done repeatedly in a short time span, it will not display the percentage countdown, CHECK, and OK. Refer to Troubleshooting Guide ( Table 3 ).
The display may be difficult to read in low light conditions.

- Follow service manual instructions to remove the seat and instrument console.
- Follow instructions in the service manual to remove the old speedometer.
Models with Speedometer Mounted at the Handlebar
Follow service manual instructions to remove the speedometer housing from the upper fork bracket, and remove the old speedometer from the housing.
INSTALLATION AND FINAL CHECK
NOTE
Apply window cleaning fluid or mild soapy water to the speedometer gasket as needed to aid installation.
Rotate the gauge into approximate visual alignment before fastening in place.
Follow instructions in the service manual to install the new speedometer.
NOTE
Confirm that the ignition key switch is in the OFF position before installing the main fuse.
WARNINGAfter installing seat, pull upward on seat to be sure it is locked in position. While riding, a loose seat can shift causing loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00070b)
NOTE
When the main fuse is installed and battery power is applied to the electrical system, the security light will flash for up to 15 seconds, while the new gauge synchronizes to the ECM.
| 1. | See the service manual and install the main fuse seat. | |
| WARNING Be sure headlamp, tail and stop lamp and turn signals are operating properly before riding. Poor visibility of rider to other motorists can result in death or serious injury. (00478b) | ||
| 2. | Turn the ignition/key switch to IGN, but do not start the motorcycle. Test for proper turn signal, brake light and tail light operation. | |
| 3. | Check the speedometer and tachometer for proper operation and verify that the odometer reading is correct. |
NOTE
- The replacement speedometer will become locked to the ECM after 31.1 miles (50km) have been accumulated. The trip B odometer will display the countdown mileage. Once the countdown reaches zero, the speedometer is locked to the ECM. If installed on another vehicle the odometer will display "VIN ERR". If the speedometer is removed from the vehicle before the countdown reaches zero, it has not been locked to the ECM. This mileage countdown allows for a road test to verify that speedometer replacement was the proper repair.
- During the 31.1 miles (50 km) countdown period (before the speedometer is locked to the ECM), the security light will flash for up to 15 seconds when battery power is restored to the electrical system, while the new gauge synchronizes to the ECM.
- Gear Indication display is a calculated gear position based on wheel and engine speed. The gear position displayed may be momentarily inaccurate depending on rider clutch use characteristics and clutch wear. This momentary false reading, although unlikely, can occur if the clutch is allowed to slip either due to excessive wear, poorly adjusted clutch or if the operator rides the clutch.
- Model year 2007 and earlier vehicles will NOT have gear indication.
Battery Reconnection and Initialization
After the battery is reconnected or a new gauge is installed, the gauge requires about a half tank of fuel to properly initialize fuel range (miles to empty) functionality.
During consumption of the first full tank of fuel, the gauge software will begin the process of learning your riding patterns, eventually tailoring the fuel range calculations to your unique riding characteristics.
The fuel level display and tank mounted fuel gauge may not match at all times when starting with a full tank of fuel. The tank fuel gauge utilizes a continuous sweep needle to indicate fuel level, while the speedo/tach fuel level utilizes a segmented display. Each segment represents 1/4 of a tank. For example; if a given segment just came on or is about to go off, it would show no change, while the needle on the tank mounted gauge would likely show a change in position.
Fuel Fill-Up and Top-Off
NOTE
Sportster® models require Fuel Sensor Kit (part no. 61200008) for fuel level functionality. Also, see FUEL LEVEL DISPLAY (SPORTSTER) to select the fuel tank's size.
When adding fuel to the vehicle it is recommended you add at least 2 gallons (1 gallon for 2.1 gallon Sportster® tank) of fuel to 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.
Press and hold the "Trip" reset switch to toggle between the "mile" and "kilo" displays.
Display Modification
The backlight color can be modified for the entire gauge or the dial, tachometer pointer, and display separately. The gear indication and fuel level display can also be disabled.
