Hey guys,

I thought one of you was going to look up the fix for the fuel gauge.  Mine no longer registers a full tank.  It goes to about 5/8 when I fill up and sits there until the actual fuel is below that level.  If there is a straightforward fix for this, I would love to know it.

Thanks,

Eric

Have you tried taking out the unit and manually moving the mechanism to simulate "full" and then read the gauge ? If the gauge then reads "full" , you know the problem is not in the electronics. Then you can immerse the unit in fuel while switched on CAREFUL !!!!!! ( no sparks please) and observe the mechanism to see if it's fully deflecting. That's what I did with my '07, and found the drama.

Thanks for the tips on fixing the fuel gauge issue.  I will try to fix the existing sensor.  The part listed costs over $800!  That's way too much for an accurate fuel reading all of the time.  If necessary I can live with the issue as it is now.

Cheers,

Eric

Or try the other method. Fill the tank, drink lots. When you need to fill the bowl, fill the tank too.

Of course if you are a young whippersnapper that means you'll run out of gas.

With my bladder I need the GPS so I always know how far to the next restroom.

I can ride much farther than the bladder can hold out. Everything is okay until I dismount and then the dancing starts.

For heavens sake mate, don't shell out $800. You'll probably do that and still have the problem. Honestly if you manually deflect the arm or slide to simulate full, you can immediately tell if it's the unit or not by just looking at what the gauge does. It really is that simple, if you go to the dealer and bend over, you'll just swap one pain in the rear end for another one!
