Inaccurate fuel gauge is common thing on Rockets. Fuel LED comes ON after about 60 km on mine. Since I was left without fuel for the first time (say 20 years ago) I do not trust fuel LED on any bike any more. I use the trip computer to measure distance between refueling, that works fine. What annoys me is that fuel LED that is ON all the time as it is pretty bright :)


I stuck a little black dot decal over mine :thumbsup:
 
Same thing on my 07 Classic. When I took it in for the 10k service, the mechanic bent the float rod. It was better but the light still came on with about 1.5 gallons left in the tank.
