Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Fuel gauge never reads accurate. When bike is full the gauge will read full but when I turn bike off and restart it again the fuel gauge will read 1/4 full. Gauge is very independable. Resulting in the bike running out of gas because the improper reading from the fuel gauge. Also resulting in having to call and auto service for a tow or fuel.”
NHTSA complaint #10816486, filed 2015-12, 10,000 miles“Fuel gauge reads erratically low from empty up to actual level. Possible fuel sensor failure. Uncommanded changes in power apparently related to this common problem make it a safety issue due to erratic speed/thrust behavior. It has occurred at high speeds in heavy traffic forcing me to pull over.”
