fuel warning light
hey guys, I may sound like a dumb ***, but does anyone know or can tell me how much fuel should be left once the fuel warning light comes on. I have a 2005 fatboy and when my light comes on, I still have two gallons left in the tank. Is this about right? Sorry about bothering you guys for something as silly as this, but to me, its something that I think I need to know. Thanks again for any info.

Really depends on where you want it to come on at. I have mine set at approx. 1 gal.
If I was riding out in the middle of nowhere I'd probably have mine set a little higher,but seeing that I'm not ever very far from gas it serves me good to have it set where it is.

Well, I am not aware of the adjustability that mech8251 mentions. With my 5 gallon tank on the 2005 Ultra, I had one gallon left in the tank when my fuel light came on. Which is the same with my 6 gallon tank on the 09 Ultra. I hope that helps.

i dont' think you can simply "bend" the float level as mentioned. I thought this had to be done via the electrical system with the insertion of a "valued" resistor in line with the fuel guage.
