Default 2006 Texas Chopper - speedo

Just bought a 2006 TC. How does the speedo work? How do you set trip meter? Does this bike have a reserve on tank? Thanks,

speedo should just work.

Trip access is via pushing the button twice.

Reset trip via pushing the button twice to get into trip mode then push and hold to reset.

My 08 TC has a reserve. it is the lever with fuel line attached between the tank and carb.

Depends on type of speedo on how to set it. Should be a little blister bubble next to display push and hold it till TRP shows. Sould also have a reserve, have to look on petcock. mine is full forward on half forward is reserve. I have Legend though. may be different.

Default 2006 TC speedo and reserve tank

Thanks, Still can't get speedo to reset trip meter. Also can't get it to show total mileage. On my gas on/off it just says on or off.

Check the other threads under AIH speedo issues then call Brooke @ Thunder-Heart

This is from the manual:

The digital information center contains a tachometer, odometer, speedometer and indicator lights. The
indicator lights are right-turn, left-turn, high beam, neutral and low oil pressure. It also has a daytime mode and
nighttime mode.
Operation
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the unit will display the odometer (“odo”), then the mileage and then
“0” mph. The unit will stay in daytime mode (bright) or, depending on surrounding light, go to nighttime mode.
Trip Meter
To display the trip meter, push and release the button (located at the circle in the bottom left corner) twice.
The unit will display “odo,” then “trp” and then display the mileage on the trip meter to that point (for example,
“0058”).
To reset or clear the trip meter to “0,” push and hold the button. The display will show “odo,” then “trp.”
Continue to hold the button for three seconds, then release. The trip meter is reset and will display “0” miles.
Calibration
No calibration is required.

If you push the button once it will read the odometer. You may have to hold it longer than 3 seconds to get it to reset the trip. 5 to 6 seconds usually does the trick.
