Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The fuel gage indicated 1/2 tank, I stopped and filled the fuel tank. When the fuel tank was filled and I was riding away I saw the needle now indicated the tank was empty. After riding foe some 20 miles the gage needle gradually began to rise to 3/4 full then drop then rise to 7/8 full. This has happened now every time I have filled the tank. The forums are full of others who experience the same thing without any satisfaction from the manufacture. …”
