| Took off yesterday morning at 4 degrees. Pulled the bike out of the garage and the thermometer read 50 degrees. Watched it drop quickly to 15 degrees then all I got was _ _ for the rest of the ride. Anyone else have this problem? |

| Maybe they are trying to tell us that if its colder than 15 or hotter than 110 you really don't need to know! |

When below freezing, my 2008 shows random readings. Here is more discussion on the topic.

Grand Cane, LA | The temperature gauge will go higher than 110. Believe me I know, I took a picture of mine when it read 115 while crawling in traffic across the Hoover Dam. 115 on asphalt and no wind is definitely not pleasant. |

No fix that I know of. It's nice having a temp gauge, but a bit aggrevating when it I cannot trust it 3 months of the year. |

Sand Rock, AL United States | I agree, frustrating. it looks like as long as this has been an issue (5 years) there would be a fix from Victory. |

Peru, IN | It only seems to be an issue with the '08s. I don't know what they changed in '09 but maybe it's something that could be retrofitted to the '08s. |

, FL United States | My '08 won't ever see temps below 32 f since I'm in Florida but when I was in Lost Wages (las vegas) in '08, the temp showed 117 f when I rode "the Strip". No wind and the traffic was moving 20 feet per stop & go 'til I got off that crazy street and went down some side streets. |
