Installed Dakota Digital Gauges on my FLHTK.  Fuel gauge just blinks and reads "00".  I'm thinking that it needs to be programed.  Oil temp gauge seems to be working.  I'm not sure that it is correct, it started blinking at 250 and got to a high of 270 running 70 mph and outside temp is 102.  Also, I haven't got the new pipes to get rid of the heat producing CAT.  If anyone has Dakota Digital gauges, let me know if you had to reprogram any of the gauges and if there are any tricks to the reprograming.

You should have gotten a booklet that shows all the procedures to program the gauges

Blinking for Dakota is a warning for the oil temp.....you can change the parameters

Yes, I don't have the manual anymore....gave it to the new owners.  You should have got the manual in the box with your gauges.  Maybe go online and find the manual and print it out.

But you can reset your gauges.  "00" on your fuel guage means you're about to start pushing your bike.  It starts at 100% when your tank is full.

Your oil temp gauge is set to warn you at 250F.  If you haven't tuned your bike and haven't got rid of the cat and opened the exhaust up.....270 isn't bad at 102F day.  I'd get rid of the cat and get a tuner on your bike and get it tuned ASAP....more important than the gauges.

Thanks for the replys!  I pulled up Dakota Digital web site and downloaded the reprograming instructions.  It looks like it is a pain to do the fuel gauge.  It says that you should drain your tank, calibrate, put in 2 gal., calibrate, put in two more gal., calibrate, and then fill it and calibrate.  Is there an easier way?

Got the pipes and tuner ordered with Steve at Fullsac.  Just waiting on the new TTS tuners to come in.  I will say that when it's 110 outside temp., the right side of this 103 is unbearably hot.  If it wasn't for the highway pegs to move my leg out of the way, a guys leg would be french fried.  I'm glad to hear that the oil temp of 270 is some what normal for a stock 103 on a hot day.  Question:  What range should my oil temp be after I get the pipes and tuner on?

Take the manual with you, to the gas station.  Should only take 5 minutes.

I used to call Jim every time I had a DD problem.......pretty soon he quit answering the phone.

I keep the pdf file pretty close by, only need it to change the clock

I've had mine for a few years and I haven't had any problems yet.
