    Help . I have a 2001 DyanGlide SuperGlide stock factory with only 2800 miles . My Speedometer trys to go below zero and the odometer flashes on and off when I rev the RPMS. The check engine light also comes on. It only seems to do this when I crank back on the throttle. Cranks fine, signal and lights work ok,, driving me crazy. Any help is appreciated.

    Might want to check the speed sensor on top of the tranny. Sometimes they get metal shavings on the end and make the speedo go grazy. You can take it our and clean the end off. Check to see if the plug on the speedo is loose.

    Hope this helps.

    funny gauges

    A friend of mine had a simular problem with his 02 FXD. Dealer checked every thing. Changed gauges, nothing helped. The problem turned out to be that he was killing the engine with the key switch, not the kill switch by the throttle. When he started using the kill switch the priblem went away. Apparently when you kill the motor with the key it causes a power surge in the system that messed up the gauges. Go figure..
