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!
