Hello Dave! I love the shiny chrome speedometer on top of the handlebars on my Daisy. It has a dinky little needle which moves around the clock and indicates how fast I am going...😊....and not a lot more...its all I need!....😉...! It looks like its pretty chilly up in Indiana at the moment! Take care, Dave, and stay warm, and have a wonderful Crimbo!...😀...😀...!
It's all good. I have zero regrets and daydream at work about riding the Breakout, which is something I never did with the Road King. It's a great bike and the new owner loves it. :)
Hi Dave, thanks for sharing the new upgrade on the bike, looks factory and very modern. By the way, may I ask you why you do not keep the PowerVision on the bike? If it is on the bike, where you have installed it? All the best for the new year.
Hi Dave, I have got Koso HD05, but I can't adjust the fuel. I can do the custom setting, but when I turn the bike off and on again it gives me as if I had a full tank but it's not true. Has this happened to you? How did you do it?
You didn’t know about the fluid transfer issue, among other problems, with the Milwaukee 8 engine before you bought the bike? That’s been a big talking point since this engine came out. Oil pump issues, etc. glad it’s running well. Warranty should fix it but keep ahead of it.
I knew about the oil pump issue but already knew I was putting in a s&s and cam. I discovered online jabber about the oil transfer this past fall and it is now taken care of. I watch a ton of youtube and read forums and those are the 2 main topics people are having problems with. I know no bike is perfect and every Harley lineup from the beginning has had issues. There are now problems starting up with Indians new Challenger. It's just about the love of riding for me and I know what ever issue I find, it will get resolved.
I asked Koso Europe this week and the answer from Ralf Mansfeld was: "On the display you see the diagnostic code, no problem." So it seems to be OK according to him!!!
So I have had this on my 08 FXSTC since summer. It works great...I had to play with the fuel settings to get it to properly display fuel level...I think it defaults to Liters even on the Gallons setting. The part that bugs me is occasionally.....when I start the bike...it looks like it loses power...then comes back on, does a "test" and shows the clock as.....12:00. It's a PITA that I have to go in and reset the clock....only to have this happen 15 starts later. Good charging system, new battery and only 4K on the bike (yeah...I bought a 12 year old bike with only 4K and original tires :-P ) Have you had this problem? It's like they need to put a capacitor on the power supply to hold charge during a start.
I know a few people with this from different Facebook groups and not heard of that issue yet. Koso is pretty good with tech support. I'd email them and ask for help.
While my bike was in storage at HD they did the stage one and I picked my bike up monday to ride on Christmas..and I asked him about that issue..he said yes my bike as the symptom..but they said HD will.not authorize the repair under warranty . Till its documented 3 times..good news i will not have to pay for that same repair they did to your bike..sucks though only have 350 miles on it
That's not right to me. When I called HD about the oil issue, they picked up the bike, repaired it and brought it back to me at no cost because it is under warranty. I didn't have to document it 3 times either. You might want to maybe call a different dealership...
@@harleydave2316 so I was back at my HD dealer. And I mentioned how your was fixed right away.. he said because I dont have 1k on it..where as you do..its all I have 700 on it now..but she going back into storage.
@@harleydave2316 I asked if I should keep checking it. Because I don't want other issues..he said no, i don't have to checking..lol....I said ok...lol should be getting few more days high 40 to 50...to ride
@@smokeGR14 So it's a known issue that the trans fluid is migrating to the primary and drying up the trans but you shouldn't be concerned or checking it?? Dude...I'd be all over the general manager at this point getting my kit installed. There is a service bulletin which in my unprofessional opinion does not require a certain milage to fix. Sorry your dealership is screwing you. 😢
Hi just installed same speedo on a2006 softail, love it only problem is when I check for error faults, its giving an error of loss of data, doesn't this suppose to marry to ecm automatically. All else works fine. Joe
@voodoopat1 Hey I have a 2006 fxstsi and I had to input th eff mileage myself , a bit complicated at first . but now I love it , it works great. Tells me even which gear im in. Did 3000 miles since then. Love it.
I have a 2019 RKS. Only issue is the fuel gauge doesn't read levels correctly but I have a digital readout on the left side of the tank so it doesn't bother me. I actually really like this speedo a lot. Thanks for watching.
Hey Dave, I just got the same Koso gauge, and must say it looks GOOD. Do you have a video on how to set things up, like setting fuel gauge, tires, etc. I heard setting up the fuel gauge is a pain. Thanks.
Indeed it is! Did you manage too?! I really need to hear first hand experience on this fuel level settings. My intuition is telling me the instructions manual is missing something.
Christian Ademius haven’t tried yet. Found instructions on line which says need to set at 4 different intervals: 1/4 full, 1/2 full, 3/4 full, and full. Too much time and math involved for me lol
Its not that difficult, when it works that is. I've done exactly as instructed but it won't work. Error out. And even when I make it (save and done) the fuel meter indicates no difference than what it used to before the calibration.
@@Meilak32 I tried at least 10. Every time i pressed the button once, before the 3 second confirm. I got the indication of 80.xx. no matter if the tank was empty, 1/3 or full... Got tired of it and returning it today for refund.
Hey Dave. I just got the same koso Speedometer. BUT I cannot seem to set the tank volume level right. How did you exactly do it? Care to share your experience? You're supposed to calibrate/set it at 1/3 tank volume for each of the 4 levels, 0, 33, 66 and 100. But again, to set these the tank volume should be at 1,3
Are you getting an error? Trying to also get fuel level set, and 0, 1/3, and 2/3 level takes the setting, then when you try and move from the full/100% setting it doesn't save and flashes "Error0" What is "DYNA" mode? Right now the fuel level just constantly flashes during riding.
@@jdaugustin Dyna setting is precalibrated it seems. Since you cannot go through the customization mode. Also when going to step 2 in fuel settings where you're supposed to see the current fuel level (0-100%) it says ---. Winston, I ve contacted KosoEurope but haven't had a reply yet.
@@86Raxor this is a 2018 Heritage. It is reading the sensor on this bike, and the number (resistance from the sensor) changes with the level during setup. The manual process works up until the last setting (100%), then it errors out instead of saving the reading/calibration. No response yet from Koso North America yet either.
@@jdaugustin This feels bad. I will make a call to at least two HD workshops tomorrow and see if they have any First hand experience. Dave, your reply would also be valuable to us. I hope you read this
@@johnjjefferson I just found the same with my 08 FXDF and assumed it was going to pick it up from the ECM. I didn’t write down the mileage off my old speedo so I’ll have to put it back on and add what I accumulated with the Koso and manually enter the mileage for the bike. I wish I saw your comment first.
Not to my knowledge. I contacted Koso a few times about it and as of 7 months ago, they didn't have a solution but knew about it on Road Kings. I use a digital gauge on the fuel tank so I keep the fuel feature turned off on the speedo so it doesn't bother me. I love this gauge though, besides that!!
@@harleydave2316 thanks, Dave. i just got reply from Koso Europe - it must fit my bike. about Road King, i think sender unit from tank connected directly to separate gauge, by this reason Koso meter doesn't recognize fuel info from canbus prototocol. but this just a thought.
So good to hear a road king special roll down the highway
It was good to be on her!! I've been driving my wife crazy complaining about the weather. Haha

Hi everyone just installed mine on my 2018 road king special it seems that it does fit a little on the loose side compared to stock??
Any issues with the speedo? Speed calibrated ok?
Does it light up at night?

Been snowing here in Utah also so I'm missing mine....
