WIRING
In order to ensure that there are no problems with voltage drops causing the system to shut down, a heavy
duty, solid state ignition switch is recommended. Also, the black wire should be connected directly to the negative
battery terminal to avoid erratic operation due to a poor ground connection.
A complete description of the hookup for each wire is discussed in the previous sections of the installation
manual.
This control module does NOT plug directly into the stock connector on 2004 and newer
motorcycles.
The typical color code for the stock wiring harness is provided to help in wiring. Dakota Digital does
not guarantee that this is correct for all models and should only be used for reference. Not all wires will be found in
all bikes. Some bikes may have the same color wire used in more than one place. The wire color code for the
main display system harness is as follows:

Speedometer connection varies depending on the year and model of the cycle. Using different speed
adapter kits the speedometer can read a speedometer cable, a stock electric transmission speed sensor, or an
aftermarket gear-tooth sensor. Each adapter kit connects to the speedometer using the three pin connector on the
controller.
SPEED ADAPTER PART NUMBERS
SEN-6011:
The cable adapter accepts a 5/8” thread fitting and can be mounted in a concealed location.
Cycles that have a metric-threaded speedometer cable will need to have the cable modified or
replaced.
SEN-6012:
This is an extension harness for stock electric transmission speed sensor that will not reach the
controller connector.
SEN-6017:
Polished replacement transmission speed sensor. Replaces stock transmission speed sensor.
SEN-6018:
The rear wheel sensor kit consists of a sensor mounted to the rear wheel spacer and a harness to
connect it to the digital speedometer. The sensor reads the hub bolts. It will work with most
softail® and rigid applications.
SEN-6019:
The gear-tooth sensor kit consists of a three-wire sensor and a harness to connect it to the
speed/tach system. The sensor needs to be mounted within 1/8” of the teeth on a steel final drive
gear.
