OK, so never say never. Even though I said I gave up, I had to take my bike to the HD Shop for warranty work and I just added this to the list. My gas gauge has never worked right - fixed four times but I asked to look at it again. Jerry, you are right, a replacement was not something they would consider. So the "Fixed" it again. And the bulb blew on the gauge and it was dark, I checked the odometer - only 116 miles on this tank - I assumed - idiot - that they would let me go with roughly the same amount of gas I came in with. Well, I got to see the out of gas light for the first time. You know the back lit speedometer is so pretty driving down the road under a full moon. I was mesmerized by the red arrow point straight up and with the gold tip at the bottom. That is until I realized the gold tip was the little gold gas pump sign. Never having seen it before, I was not familiar with what it was. Well the last 800 feet or so were a little nerve racking, I got a couple of surges as my bike cried for gas. I made sure I did not lean anymore than necessary and got her pulled into the garage and I turned it off. But you bet I will be adding a little petrol before pulling out again. Disappointing that the bulb blew, of course they did not have any in stock so I have to wait for it to come in.
I hope this doesn't happen with the new SERK. It uses the flush LED gas gauge. If this fails, I assume I would have no indication of the amount of fuel I have. Oh yeah, if it fails, I guess I can always take off the cap and look inside. Nevermind. 8-) Hoist!
