Troubleshooting:
Occasionally, the stock American Iron Horse ignition switch can “chatter” due to vibrations at high engine RPM.
This can cause the gauge to operate incorrectly. It is recommended to solve this problem by replacing the stock ignition
switch with a Harley Davidson switch (kit number 71441-94). This switch is less prone to chatter.
