Description of the problem | Fuel gauge reads anywhere from empty to full at random times - regardless of what the actual fuel level in the tank is. Example: #1. I filled the fuel tank, as i drive away from the gas station, the gauge suddenly goes to "e", and low fuel indicator comes on; #2. The gauge fluctuated from full to empty within 4 miles of filling up. #3. After filling the tank, i drive down the road, and the gauge reads "e" and the low fuel indicator comes on, i stop to fill, and only 1 gallon goes in before it is at the top; as i drive away the gauge reads "e", and 118 miles down the road it changes to "f", on the same tank of gas. All of this occurs regardless of elevation, speed, or angle of the bike. |
