Question For Curtis or anyone else

[wolfen]

I just installed a new speedometer that I got from Curtis. I checked all the wiring and everything checks out. When I first tried to ride the bike it wasn`t working right. It wouldn`t register the correct speed and would periodically show 80000 on the display and then the needle would go to half way position. I took it out and calibrated it according to the directions All went well ,but , now when i`m doing 60 miles an hour it reads that i`m doing 100 miles an hour. Also every so often it will show 30000 on the display and go to the half way position , than will return to the 0 position or whatever the speed i`m going , though incorrect. Has anyone had this happen to them? Does anyone know anything about these speedometers? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks

Curtis , I did get the speedometer calibrated. It turns out that must be a short somewhere in the system, I would drive the 2 miles to calibrate ,but , during that 2 miles the power would be interrupted to the unit and would start to re calibrate on it`s own. I kept trying to drive the 2 miles without it losing power. Was finely able to get the whole 2 miles without it losing power and it worked. So I`m now calibrated . Now I have to find the short or whatever is going on to interrupt the power . I`m glad winter is coming on so I can get into it.
You mention something about the ehc having a problem. My question is is there anyway I can check to see if the ehc has been upgraded already? If not what do you think my bast option is? Is there a replacement that doesn`t have the problems the stock ehc seems to of had? It is always something with this bike,but,I still love it.
Thanks Curtis

Cool, good work.
Look at your battery area.
If you see this, or something very similar, then you have the OEM EHC.

I would not be so quick to blame the EHC.
Go through your harness first and look for loose bins, chafing etc.

I will do that. Thanks for the response,.

I have a wire plus install and the spedo acts like that when the key switch is not making good connection. Sometimes the tach will blink at a rate associated with the engine RPM. The top motor mount is a tough place for a switch to survive. I think it also has to do with which way the switch is orientated as to whether the contacts will bounce.
