Default LED Fuel Gauge Cap and Low Fuel Indicator

Both my LED fuel gauge cap and Low Fuel Indicators are lighting up as low on a full tank. Problem persists after a few rides as well as a couple tank refills. Any advice on what to check?

Maybe a stuck float - you would need to remove the fuel pump cover plate to check.

As mentioned above, check the fuel level sensor float. You can see it through the gas cap. If the float is stuck on the bottom of the tank get a coat hanger and bend the end of the hanger into a little hook to pull up on the float lever. My float got stuck a couple of times when I ran it pretty low on fuel, float bottomed out and stuck on the inner edge of the tank.
