Where or what measures the fuel my gauge is hoping all over the place. I know I have more than half a tank but the gauge dips down and flashes no fuel than slowly creeps up and falls back down. Than I shut it off and sit for a bit start it back up and it’s where it should be again and as soon as I start moving it drops off again

Fuel gauge is attached to the fuel pump. Simple float and resistor system, both can be purchased separately.

I noticed my last ride also. Had maybe 1/2 tank and next thing I knew I was reading bingo and flashing light. Freaked me out a bit.

Sat for a few minutes , light was off and level reading correctly.

Spoke to my dealer about it and he said the fuel gauge has a refresh rate of 20 seconds for fuel level which put me back to a point where I had sled really on its side.

now knowing that I will be mindful but wish it was instant.
