ok i was on my way home from work this morning and i had just got off the freeway and my bike died. it said i had three bars left on the fuel gauge so i had no clue what was going on. so i pushed the bike just over a half mile to a gas station cause i was stuck on a bridge. scared ****less cause it was still dark out and cars were coming. so i get to the gas station and put gas in it to see if that was the problem and sure enough it started right up as soon as i filled it up with gas. has anyone else had a problem with there gas gauge being that inacurate. is there a way to adjust it or do i need to take it to the dealer?

 

I'd say have it looked at. I run my tank down to the reserve often with long trips and I've never had a problem with it.

 

Yeah, something is wrong there. I'm not sure how the gas gauge works, maybe a float? If there's a float it sounds like it's not moving freely.

 

I have had it down to one and no problems. I would get someone to look at it also.

 

My gauge reads perfect, its about the only thing I look at on the bike while riding. I can squeeze 150 until reserve light pops on if I am just crusin with my girl on the back, but if i am rippin i pretty consistantly get 100 or so on a tank. If you dunno if your gauge is workin, gas up every 100 miles

 

FLoat.. We have that happen to new bikes when the float sticks. bring her down from a wheelie lol... it should free her up. j/k
