I have a 2014 Indian Chieften and am unable to read the red LED display during the day. I have tried playing around with brightness, but that does nothing.
I contacted Polaris customer service and was told that they are aware of a few customer complaints, but do not have any solutions at this time.
Does anyone have any suggestions, I ride everyday, and for the most part, the sun is always shining in Phoenix, AZ.

There's not much that can be done. I have the same problem with my convertible as my Chieftain. I read on the car forum that LED and LCD displays just don't show up well in sunlight. I have been considering some type of angled cover, but for now, I just deal with it.

Welcome to the forum, hopefully you can find a happy medium to your issue.

I say ride at night ...

Change your sunglasses... some types and shades of lenses block different colors, especially red.

I would ride at night, except for the wildlife!!!!

There has to be something that can be done. Has there been any vendors that have different LED light colors that could be used in replace of the red?

Don't really need to read it. The gauges you really need are visible if you can see that far. I need a pair of sunglasses with a bifocals

Polarized sunglass cause the problem with the display. Non-polarized work fine for me. I found a pair of cheap sunglass with bifocals in Daytona and they work great for me.

Did you ever find a solution? I have a 2017 Chieftain and have the exact same problem and it's driving me nuts.

There was a post on the forum a couple years back where someone actually changed the LEDs to different colors. His was a Blue if I remember correctly. Search the forum
