Low fuel light does not work!! Found out the HARD way.

230 miles are you having a laugh.

That was incredibly profound! I don't think my kindergarten-educated mind could have ever figured that out!

That is what the majority of Rocket owners have been doing for fourteen years and it works perfectly or you can keep running out of petrol the petrol gauge on the Roadster also sucks big time , I have a std and a Roadster so I know what I am talking about in fact if I could I would remove the petrol gauge and the gear indicator on my bike never understood why bikes have them in the first place.

I may look dumb, but that's just a disguise. I'm a mastermind in the ways of espionage. I can finger out how to not run out of petroleum-based products after one incident. I also know not to put my hand under the deck of a running lawn mower.

I have an 06 classic best I have gotten out of mine is 370 kms/230 miles still had 2litres or half a gallon left.

Had a new fuel filter fitted at the dealership and somehow the buggered up the light sensor and now it's on all the time.

So I always use mileage trip meter.

Just need to put some black tape over the fuel light.

Your not the first or probable not the last to end up getting a fuel filter replaced from a dealership and end up with a fuel gauge that is not working. Float sending unit is about $100.00 dollars. real easy to bend while installing fuel filter as we found out the hard way. This time were going to be a little more careful.

You don't have to worry about that until you do it twice then they'll call ya stupid

... and you know this from actual experience?!

230 miles - how many times did you fill up?

Only the once. Highway riding on long long straights.

When I changed the fuel filter on my Roadster I bent the fuel sending unit arm a tad bit.... everything works much better now. I have rode with the miles to empty gauge got down to 43 miles to go and still had gas sloshing around in the tank. So I'm thinking it registers pretty close to dead on now.

Now if you think about it dirt bikes never had gauges... just reserve...

You're probably going to get a lot of recommendations for the Fuelbot.

Read this >>> The most accurate Fuel Gauge you will ever find ...

So how and where do I find a link to buy this Fuelbot? I guess I should get the version 2?

Probably needs the updated float sending unit. Other then that you can bend the float a wee bit.

Bend which way.....up.....down.... sideways?
