Gas Gage
My gas gage does not go right up to the full mark when i fill it up. And i mean i fill it right up. Stays back about 1/16th + from the full line. Does anyone else have this problem on there 2014 SGS.

No issues, it sits right on full. I tend to trust the mileage remaining on the speedo more anyhow, but I don't trust either one to be 100% accurate. When the fuel light comes on you have about a gallon. FYI, it doesn't matter if you have a SGS or a standard.

Mine goes all the way up to full, and i am pretty cautious when filling so i guess i am getting it all the way up. I have a few cars that sometimes takes a few minutes to show full and i know they are topped off.

You have to pull the nozzle out a bit to ensure you fill it right to the top. If you keep nozzle all the
way in and let it stop itself it won't be topped off and the gauge won't show full.

Now that you mention that - I recently noticed the same thing. The tank is full but the needle does not register all the way.
I have not noticed any problem with the per tank gas miles - so, I suspect all is OK.

Once topped-up, wiggle the bike a little and the level of fuel will go down. Top it up again. You have to do it 3-4 times before the fuel level stays put. Then the needle shows full. If you just fill up until full without wiggling it, the needle will rest just before the full mark.... At least on my bike.
