Speed Sensor
A: May have a bad speed sensor. Locate your speed sensor. Remove it from the case and try cleaning it. Check the sensor’s harness and plugged connection. Check your speedo head for stored diagnostic trouble codes.

My son jump started his 2001 electra glide standard and now his stereo does not work. Just loud buzz.
Hi Mark, Check all fuses and wiring.
What ever you do don’t jump your Bike with a Car or Truck.It will fry the Stator right there. Make sure the vertical is turned off if you do.
Do you have a video on how to do this

how do you remove a speedo from a 1986 fxrs sport. speedo is pegged when going over 20mph. cable and drive are not broken. I think it’s in the speedo itself.
Hi, Matt. Yes. That definitely sounds like a bad speedo. Lift up your dash assembly. You will see that there is a simple retainer that secures the speedo. https://www.fixmyhog.com/videos/electrical/
I have a 2001 Ultra Classic. My question is what would make my speedo work off and on?
