No one ever ran out of gas full. You could always turn the calender back 30 years and just ride until it ran out of gas then turn the reserve on and drive to the gas station. We didn't need no stinkin' fuel gauge. I totally agree and didn't have one on my last bike that I rode for about 7 years. I just hate to have something that doesn't work.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #245579 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

Yeah yeah yeah, the guage is working now it's just that the low level light is doing the 8 blinks thing and won't stop.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #245584 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Gas guage 2 Years, 5 Months ago   Well that's wierd, the 8 blinks is usually an indication that the fuel sender is not connected, in which case it shouldn't be working.. but your's is...? I guess the next thing I would do is look for loose or broken wire/connectors... Check the service manual also, I believe there is a section in there that shows how to test it...   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/12/27 09:57 By Flashback.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #245637 Road_Hawg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1397 Re:Gas guage 2 Years, 5 Months ago   They must have changed the fuel level system on the 2008 and above. Mine reads full after riding about 100 yards after fill up.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #245684 rick8mitch (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 537 Re:Gas guage 2 Years, 5 Months ago   mine has a dleya after i fill it up also just though it was part of my bikes personality.....and it is I know its full when I fill it ..so it really amyyers to me when its low on fuel rick   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #245705 CPORetired (User) What do you mean my birth certificate expired?!!!? Platinum Boarder Posts: 1868 Re:Gas guage 2 Years, 5 Months ago   Couple miles down the road after a fill up for my gauge to register full, doesn't seem like that big an issue to me, better than it jumping all over the place with ever bump, turn, acceleration etc. etc. etc.   Logged     Any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: I SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY.

My gauge is up to full in about 2 mile after fueling.

(that´s a point - gotta quit smoking )   Logged     be realistic - demand the impossible!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #245751 Pablo (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 160 Re:Gas guage 2 Years, 5 Months ago   yep, takes a few miles of riding before mine registers after filling, too. I've never had a bike with a gas gauge on it, though, so I'm pretty used to calculating miles til I need to stop and refuel.   Logged     I would rather be riding my motorcycle thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my motorcycle   The administrator has disabled public write access.
