TOPIC: Gas gauge acting up Forum Tools Post New Topic Show latest posts Rules

#97188 Riobeard (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 57 Gas gauge acting up 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Rode to work this morning, Beautiful Carolina morning by the way, Stopped filled up. May have been a little quick on the start up, not sure I let it cycle through the electrical check. Anyway gas gauge stopped working. Little light blinking rode on. This afternoon left work rode about half of the 24 mile ride home and gauge started working again. I have seen problems reported here about gas gauge and was wondering if I'm in need of a new sender or do I just need to wait for the bike to cycle through its checks before start up. How much is this sender going to set me back if I need one.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #97198 roadstar_rider (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 131 Re:Gas gauge acting up 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   im having same problem at quater tant filled up went to empty and light flashin ride awile and goes to three quater then back to E then back to full   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #97203 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 11834 Re:Gas gauge acting up 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   How many times is the light blinking? You can try disconnecting the battery over night. Sometimes that helps the electrical stuff reset itself.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #97214 TBA Stormin (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 142 Re:Gas gauge acting up 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   A aftermarket gas gauge...

Seemed like maybe several then it quit but gauge didn't start back working until later on the ride home. And even though I love the nature of this bike and can figure out when I need gas didn't really want to resort to a tape measure.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #97237 dcoley (User) DC Fresh Boarder Posts: 84 Re:Gas gauge acting up 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   I'm having problems also this afternoon my low fuel light came on at what appeared to be 1/4 tank it normaly doesn't come this soon anyway I thought this can't be right so I continued riding for another 5-6 miles then while sitting at the light she poped and shut down ! I quickly rolled over to reserve and fired her back up and off to the nearest station after filling up my bike never registers full until I have rode about 3-4 miles this means my foat is sticking ? It has done this since it was new. should I have the float replaced before my warranty is gone ? or do these bikes typically have sticky floats ??   Logged     DColey   The administrator has disabled public write access. #97302 underdog2003 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 59 Re:Gas gauge acting up 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   dcoley wrote: I'm having problems also this afternoon my low fuel light came on at what appeared to be 1/4 tank it normaly doesn't come this soon anyway I thought this can't be right so I continued riding for another 5-6 miles then while sitting at the light she poped and shut down !

I just had the gas gauge replaced and it also takes a while to show full after I fill up (around 3 miles or so). I'm no expert, but maybe they all just operate that way. Let's see what others say...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #97313 ScottS (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 37 Re:Gas gauge acting up 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   I saw my guage only register 1/4 tank when I was on a trip and overfilled the tank. After I rode for a few miles it began to read correctly. I've done that twice. Didn't notice the trouble lite flash.

It's normal. There's a dampener in there that keeps the needle from bouncing around while you're riding.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
