"O Captain, My Captain"
So there I was this morning, riding my 09 R3T in beautiful weather, when without any warning at all, my gas gauge falls to near 0 and my miles to empty falls to 18, with a tank I KNOW has at least 5 gallons in it. I ride another 50 miles or so with the miles to empty and gauge on 0, when I decide to fill up and see if that somehow cures the problem. Nope, and the bike only took 2.1 gallons, so it was nowhere near empty. Then, about 2 hours later, I get on the bile to do an errand and "IT'S A FESTIVUS MIRACLE", everything is A-OK. I perform my errand (a haircut - probably irrelevant) and then on the way home, egads - it falls to 0 again.
I'm stumped, but then again, it doesn't take much to stump me technically. Everything else seems fine, bike performance is awesome as always and there are no other apparent electrical problems. I always use the key to shut down, never the kill switch. I haven't added any electrical accessories and the battery seems fine and turns the engine over with no problem.
To add insult to injury, I rode over to my dealer and he was CLOSED for the holiday. I should have expected it!
So, any ideas? Please help if you can.
And, oh by the way, A HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL OF MY R3OWNERS,NET FAMILY.
