After replacement of the defective fuel cell module part, my fuel gage reading has changed. With the old unit my reserve was reached at 100-110 miles on the trip odometer. Now it is reached at approximately 70 miles on the odometer. It now hits reserve with approximately 2 gallons left in the tank (out of supposedly 3.7 gallons), where previously 1 gallon remained when reserve was reached.
The dealer has taken the unit out and reinspected. The float moves smoothly on the rod, but obviously the indicator on the rod that the sensor on the float reads is now sitting higher in the tank than previously. They are stumped.
Has anyone else had this occur after the recall? If so has anyone's dealer solved the problem? I prefer not to have the light on for 40 miles longer than necessary. The paranoia of running out of gas is bad enough with this bike without a overly pessimistic fuel gage.
