Analog fuel guage accuracy on RT-S?

bouncy gauge/fuel milage

My analog gauge bounces a lot. Dealer said BRP said that was normal. Guess they're wrong again. When my gauge is dead on empty I usually get 3.5 to 3.9 gallons to fill up. The most I've put in was 4.2. I take a look in the tank so I don't overfill. Best milage was 118 miles before the gauge went to empty. Two up, no addded cargo, average speed 50 mph.

A revised gauge is available that will stop the bouncing. If you can't get satisfaction from the dealer, contact Carlo at BRP tech support..

The bouncing gauge is NOT normal. Mine was bouncing when I turned the key on, before I even sat down. Had one dealer tell me that was normal, of course this is the same dealer that tried to tell me I didn't have a air shock on the rear. Just had it replaced last weekend (different dealer) and it's rock solid now.

Haven't had a chance to run it down to the gas light coming on since installing the new one. But I've been getting 27 mpg, light comes on around 125 miles.

My new one hit the light today about half way (or a bit more) into the red. Took 5.1 gallons at that point. With the old gauge, it hit the light after it went well below the red...took the same amount of gas. I range from 25-28 mpg. I just look for a station every 100 miles or so.

that's perfect ... have mine in shop for new gauge to be installed right now hoping to get the same results...
