Has anyone here found there speedometer and gear indicator working only some of the time? In the two weeks that I have had the bike, the speedo has stopped working for several minutes at a time possibly 8-10 times. It is preceded by the gear indicator showing "--". I am assuming they are related and possibly due to a bad gear sensor which then shuts down the speedo? When I first got the bike, there was some large scratches on the face of the tach and the dealer recently replaced it. They don't really appear to have a clue what to look for or possibly don't care now that it is a bike they won't be selling (is this the future of service under warranty?). Any help would help guide me to remedy the problem. | ||

There is no gear sensor. The gear indicator is a calculation based on speed & gear ratios. It sounds like you have a bad speedo sensor, or a loose connection. Either should be an easy fix under warranty. | ||

Tpoppa, that's good info and would explain why Wolf experiences both simultaneously. It also answers what I was wondering the other day ... Why doesn't the bike remember what gear I was in when I pull the clutch in? I see in the manual that "--" is correct when the clutch lever is squeezed, but now I know why! Mike | ||

+1 on the loose connection I had an intermittant speedo problem on my '08 ULY that was traced to a loose connection in the wiring harness. | ||

Horrible service from dealers has been around even before the XB bikes 
Because your not in gear. I got an aftermarket gear indicator on my XB, it gets all confused the moment you pull in the clutch. | ||

i had an issue were i had no speedo. i took it to the dealership and just as he was saying that he needed proof i pulled out my cell and showed him a video i made. i was doing 50mph down a street and it said 0 on the display. it took them 2 tries to fix the issue. they put a new cluster on but did not know how to calibrate it. they had to call Buell for instructions. now every once in a while i look down and it will say 0mph but it is really rare. (i have an 08' with an 09' cluster) |
