POWER & GROUND
The gauge is a direct plug in. Constant battery power and key switched power are supplied by the stock harness
along with ground.
STATUS AND WARNING INDICATORS
Several indicators are supplied on the stock wiring harness. Some of these may not be active on your motorcycle.

displayed. (default warning limit is 11.0V)
SPEEDOMETER & TACHOMETER
The speedometer and tachometer signals are read from the engine control module (ECM) over a data bus.
The speed can be calibrated to allow for differences in tires or gearing; calibration is discussed later.

After the switch is held for a few seconds the hours will begin flashing. Momentarily pressing the switch will change the
hours, holding the switch will move to the minute set, and the minutes will begin flashing. Momentarily pressing the switch
will now change the minutes. Holding the switch will exit the clock set mode.
