Ride the bike some and the fuel gauge will probably come back up to where it was.   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #454749 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata !

Maybe it got loose while pulling the battery. These gauges are known to go bad....personaly I went thru 2. But, I havent heard of the 08s having that problem. I thought they had that problem fixed by now. +1 what texasscott1 said.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/01/28 18:52 By Blackroadie.   ...Scott   The administrator has disabled public write access. #454762 spadelugs (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 15 Re:08 roadstar fuel guage 1 Year, 3 Months ago   I unpluged the green wire turned on the switch, fuel liight flashing,pluged in the green wire ,light went off fuel guage jumped to full. cycled switch a couple times A OK Thanks guys Im buyin the beer.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #454860 Edge51 (User) 2000 Roadstar Platinum Boarder Posts: 2181 Re:08 roadstar fuel guage 1 Year, 3 Months ago   My fuel gauge problems started while in Sturgis in aug 2010. I gassed up and for the first time, since I owned the bike, the gauge didn't move. About 10 miles down the road it finally started to adjust til finally it showed full. This was pretty much the routine for the rest of that trip and for the remainder of the riding season 2010. In the spring of 2011....gauge finally stopped moving all together and laid there dead. so for 2011 I used the tripometer to approximate when I needed to fill up. worked ok... Sooo...after researching these forums I saw how easy it was to replace sender unit. Ordered it and swapped it out yesterday....voila....gauge works again and I'm hoping problem solved.. thanks once again guys for sharing.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
