I have an American Ironhorse Motorcycle with a digital speedometer. It only works in the dark. Any Suggestions?
Posted on Dec 06, 2009 under Digital news and reports |My digital Speedo has a day/night sensor that changes the brightness depending on surrounding light. Unfortunately when the surrounding environment is light (daytime) the speedo doesn’t work at all. If I leave my garage at 15MPH and enter sunlight, the speedo sticks at 15MPH until I shut down the bike. The tachometer also freezes.
The speedo works perfectly in low light.
How can I address this or is it possible to cover the light sensor? If so, where is the light sensor on the unit? (i have the crescent shaped stainless speedo.

It has been a while since I have done anything with an AIH speedo, I can’t remember exactly where the sensor is on the speedo (some of the older units had the sensor on the underside of the speedo, just under the face, if you have this, try to cover it with electrical tape and see what happens. If I remember correctly, the circuitry on the speedo head is a sealed unit, meaning it is almost impossible to access the actual speedo face circuit board without destroying the unit, this is where the sensor is on the newer units. I am not sure if this will work due to light coming in from the surrounding area, but when in the light, try using your thumb to cover different areas of the face, if the lights come back on, cover that area with electrical tape and hope for the best.
It is possible to change the speedo to a Dakota Digital, but it will require replacing the bars, risers and iginition system….as AIH in their infinite idiocy, made their speedo/tach units work ONLY with with their proprietary GIL Ignitions and will ONLY mount to their handlebar set-up. The ONLY ignition system that will work with AIH wiring is a specailly made Daytona Twin Tech TC-88 module made specifically as AIH/GIL replacement.
Obviously, Joseph, below doesn’t know ANYTHING about your bike!!!…..i never said the speedo was POWERED by the ignition circuit……The tach is INTEGRATED into the speedo unit, along with all the indicator lights……all ONE UNIT…..the tach only works with AIH Ign System or a Daytona Twin Tec Ign!!!!…..this….is why I stated the info above!!!!

i would say that the spedo is powerd by the light circuit instead of the ign circuit

The next time I read a site, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.

Is it that easy? I’ve heard you need to workout for hours and follow different kinds of diet charts and nutrient charts and work out charts?????

Cheers for this post, It’s fantastic to see another blogEngine.NET user. Most folks these days seem to use other systems like Wordpress, but I think blogEngine.NET is the best system to use.

Hey! It is like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, just like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the content home a bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.

Hello ok Paul ,I am supposed to be a tea aficionado, love the olfactory sense & the tingling sensation of tea as the first thing after getting up. I drink minimum nine cups every day. BTW nice blog, Have a good day.
December 18th, 2010 at 11:54 am
I’m impressed, I must say. Very seldom do I see a blog that is both educational and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your post is outstanding; the matter is something that not a lot of people are talking intelligently about. I am really happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to it.
December 19th, 2010 at 1:30 am
Thanks so much for this! I haven’t been this thrilled by a blog post for quite some time! You have got it, whatever that means in blogging. Anyway, You are certainly someone that has something to say that people need to hear. Keep up the wonderful job. Keep on inspiring the people!

Before using e-cig… I felt my days were numbered…. I couldn’t quit with the present options available. I had a vision of this solution 5 years ago… Unfortunately… I found out about it in mid March just before Health Canada shut it down… Hey I have resorted to extraordinary action…. I now have my stash which should last me a few years now….. I was prepared to take a trip to China to stock up… but that has been averted… I am comfortible with the amount I have at the moment to get me through this BS.

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? ThanHowdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.ks!
