Wiring
The gauge is a direct plug in on 2004 and newer bikes. The only wiring, which is optional, is for the indicator
lights and auxiliary pressure/temp gauges if you choose.
STATUS AND WARNING INDICATORS
An extra 8 pin harness is supplied for the indicators not found in the
stock speedometer harness connector.
The high beam indicator is activated by 12 volts at the purple wire. The turn
signals can be activated by the data bus on most models.
The neutral and low oil indicators are activated by ground at their
respective hook-up wires. These can be connected to the same wires that the
stock indicator lights would be connected to. The low oil wire is brown and the
neutral wire is white/green.
Several indicators are supplied on the stock wiring harness. Some of
these may not be active on your motorcycle. These include the security (red
key symbol), engine (red ‘E’), ABS (red ‘ABS’), low fuel (amber fuel pump
symbol), and cruise control (arrow and circle symbol). All of these indicators
have a fixed color except for the cruise control. This will be red when the
cruise switch is on and change to green when the cruise is engaged.
OPTIONAL OIL TEMPERATURE
Dakota Digital part number SEN-1043 or SEN-1044 must be used. The SEN-1043 is a one-wire sender and
grounds through its body. Connect the terminal on the end of the sender to the blue wire. Make sure the sender threads
are able to make a metal-to-metal connection to complete the ground. The SEN-1044 is a two-wire sender. Connect the
sender red wire to the blue wire and connect the sender black wire to the gauge black wire.

LOW VOLTAGE WARNING
When the voltage drops below the warning limit w
ith the engine running, “LO” and your current voltage will be
displayed (default warning limit is 11.0V).
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer is read from the engine control module (ECM) data bus. This can be calibrated to allow for
differences in tires or gearing. Calibration is discussed in a later section.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer is read from the ECM data bus.
The tachometer needle displays RPM x1000 with a range of 350
– 8000 RPM. The RPM can also optionally be
shown on the message display.
CLOCK
The clock uses a 12 hour format and can be set by pressing and holding the switch while the clock is displayed.
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.
