Fuel guage acting up.

[gazey]

G'day all, Has anyone had any issues with their fuel guage.
In the last few days I have noticed that mine seems to be moving around a lot even when the Spyder is stationary.
The last time I filled up the gauge only shows 2/3 full :dontknow:.
It normaly shows all bars but the last little one.
Any help would be appreciated.

There have been a few reports of bad sending units or gauge clusters. First thing I would do, though, is check the connections at your battery to be sure they are clean and tight. Also check the ground bolt under the seat. Finally, check the battery voltage. It should be at least 12.6 volts after sitting overnight...preferably higher.

Had my fuel gauge sending unit replaced on warranty at about 20,000 kilometers last October. They had to replace the whole fuel pump assembly. It was acting a lot like yours, but at first it wouldn't indicate a full tankeven after filling carefully with a jerry can, then it just got erratic.

Last summer on a road trip in CO, mine was acting up. Wouldn't register more than a few bars, despite being full. I stopped in at a Co. Springs dealer. He pulled the cluster cleaned/reseated and called back to BRP. Still wouldn't register, so I just kept track of mileage and crossed my fingers. In a couple days, everything started working again and has been working since.:dontknow:

failing fuel gauge

+Mine's now begun not registering full any longer after fillup. It registers about half and rapidly shows low fuel lamp at about 50 miles.

No change to mpg, however, but I'll keep an eye on it and report it for extended warranty coverage, if necessary.

Ride on.
