    I don't mean to be smart but did you read the instructions?

    It sounds as if you have not transferred the odo reading using the data plug under the seat.

    I haven't fitted one of these myself but it shouldn't need any adaptor cable, that is for the data transfer.  

    Cheers,

    the instruction was just to connect to new speedo adrive 30 miles and that it
    but the speedometer still show me 999999km
    as i understand i need to connect the speedometer directly to the ECM with the adapter cable
    but since my bike has connectoe with 6 pins and the adapter cable has 4 pins, i cant do it
    and here is my problem
    so i wonder if its possible to convert between them 4 pins to 6 pins.

    thx....

    I think the later speedos just plug in and copy the info across automaticly and after 50 ks they lock to that bike.
    The earlier ones require the data cable to set them up before installing.
    I dont think they are interchangable between the two models.
    Not 100% sure though.

    Some notes from the Harley website and installation instructions:

    HARLEY WEBSITE (look in the Q&A tab) http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/combo-analog-speedometer-tachometer-pa-10-7477711--1

    According to the instruction sheet here:

    If you have a 11+ Softail, you just have to plug it in to your existing connector. It is not like the other speedometer where you have to use an adapter to hook up to the data link connector for the copy process.

    Thank you

    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_us/media/downloads/service/isheets/-j05180.pdf

    This kit is a direct replacement for the original equipment (OE) speedometer on 2011 and later Softail models.

    Both the ECM and speedometer retain the odometer value. If the speedometer is replaced, it will display the odometer value stored in the ECM. The replacement speedometer will become locked to the ECM after 31.1 miles (50km) have been accumulated.

    So basically if you have done the 31.1 miles then it should be ok - you cannot use an adapter cable. If it is not ok, it is either broken or you have not installed it correctly. Either way take it back to the dealer and ask them

    hi
    i already ride the bike
    i saw the plug under the seat
    when i move out the ECM fuse and return it back i can see the real Kilometers for 7 seconds and then the speedo show again 9999999
    and now i cant fix the real Kilometers
    i called H-D and asked them for the data cable with 6 pins that fit to my bike
