    Open up the POS Digital stick, there is a battery in there just like in a watch you can replace it to see if the stick works.

    Bud had the same problem, we fixed the wire, that's one tiny little wire ga as well!

    His did the same over time the LCD just gave up over time.

    We ended up putting the old one that broke the stick's lcd into the new one , worked for a while.

    Me I think the Temp gauges do more to cause stress than relieve oil temps :rolleyes: :D

    Every one of us has a chome whore or doodad daddy hidden inside, ya haveta buy that whatzit gizmo,

    I think they look kool but are only there to raise yer blood pressure

    I had one on my softail not digital but the analog, slightly overfilled the tank,

    Up in Nawth GA, guy next to me says "lets see how long I can keep up"

    I'm like" OK"

    Light turns green

    I nail the throttle hard

    First, second bam wthf

    Back of leg it hot,
    Big ol smoke cloud coming out of the bike
    guys behind me pissed as I coated them with a film of oil as they drove through the smoke.

    Figger blew that oil cap out big time, we never found it.

    Had to ride home with a big ol pink plug we found at a four wheeler store.

    Too funny.
