| Description of the problem | My 2015 fls has just under 700 miles on it & the speedometer broke yesterday. Stuck on 60mph. It dropped back down to 0 after sitting for a half hour, but stuck again as soon as i reached 45 mph. It jumped up to 100mph & was inaccurate for the rest of my ride. I called my dealer & i know it will be taken care of right away but i belong to a group online of only softail slim owners & several have had the same problem. Getting it replaced with the same speedo just to have that one go bad also. A few owners got upgrades free & some paid the extra cost to upgrade. Harley davidson should cover the cost of the upgrade. It's brand new, grarage kept, cared for like a baby, no reason to break except it's cheap! |
