Default something strange

Tonite i started my new engine for the first time and my speedometer says r Lo where the mileage is what does it mean and also what have you guys set your push rods at what number of turns. mine are four turns and they sound noisey. I thought the r Lo is low fuel but its full

When I fill up the r Lo or r whatever miles that were on there before I filled up stays the same till I start riding. It quickly changes to the correct mileage remaining. I think it has something to do with the fact that the computer can't calculate a new remaining mileage until it gets an odometer/speedometer input.

Take it for a spin and the remaining mileage should read correctly.

I know nothing at all about pushrod adjustment, sorry.

Did you disconnect your battery or pull your maxi-fuse?Mine does that,should register correctly if you reset your tripometer.

Yea my battery was unhooked for 4 weeks while my engine was down,That makes sense that it needs to be rode to recalibrate.

Yep, needs to recal, crank and let it run a few minutes and it should register the full tank.

Depending on which brand of push rods you used, the turns required can differ...
