John Bentall Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 A different problem to 1bmwfan's. The gas gauge was working perfectly before the bike went in for its 24,000 mile/annual service. When it was returned and after filling the tank, it will only read up to 1/3 full and the miles to empty was showing 137 miles. Anyone have any ideas what the mechanic upset? Link to comment
Mudman Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 John, I did a brake bleed and flush which required I power the system with the fuel tank disconnected (removed). I noticed after everything was completed and during the test ride the fuel gauge read empty even though it correctly read 1/3 full before the work. After a couple hours riding the gauge reset and has worked correctly for 5 months since. If you have more than several hours of ride time and the gauge is connected to the sending unit It might be time to return to the shop. Good Luck Link to comment
John Bentall Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thanks Mudman, I forgot to mention that this problem occurred after a brake fluid flush and the tank was removed. I have booked it into the shop again and hope to put a few more hours ride time on before I get there. Very interesting to hear that you had the same problem, though. John Link to comment
