Speedo problems

[DrRx]

speedo does not work. When I turn the bike on it goes to 60 them back to zero. But read a code 49438 then goes to the odometer reading. What is that code? Any ideas on how to get to speedo working

That's normal, I think the 49438 is how many teeth it reads off the gear in the tranny in 1 mile.

Or are you saying when your riding it reads 0

that is a calibration code, they all do that. if your speedo does not work after that, it normally means that your battery is not quite up to snuff. if you can ride the bike for, say, 10 miles and turn it off, then crank it up and it works, you have a low battery. do you keep the battery on a tender?? it should be. the big inch takes about 20 miles of steady riding to replace the draw of starting the motor if your charging system is in good shape.

My tach doesn't work either. The speedo lights up odometer works, oil, N, and turn signals work but no speedo and no tach.

this doesn't always work, sometimes it's just time to replace it.
