, IL United States | I get about 50 miles per 1/4 tank.
Does the level start dropping after about 70 ish miles? May be a sticky float thingy. |

Rossville, IL | I could never get mine to read more than 7/8 full even after completely topping off jiggling and rocking the bike on the stand. Had the front end apart a couple of months ago replacing the amber turn signals with the clears and discovered I could pull the fuel pump/gauge out while the turn signal housing was out. Bought a new float thinking mine was saturated, but it was not. After doing some careful studying of the float mechanism, decided to bend the float arm a bit. The tank reads just past full now like it should and still have a bit of fuel left when it gets to empty on the gauge now. Used to be when it said empty I would fill up and it would only take about 4 gallons. Now I put in 5-5.5 or so. |
