When I went to start her up this morning I noticed a white spec of something in the gas guage... on the inside of the glass...

I've seen water droplets in there before, but this is a white spec, and despite how small it is, quite an eye sore...

How the heck did it get in there? More importaintly, how do I get it out?

Only thing I've tried is a hair dryer aimed hoping to melt it off... nothing, well maybe a little, but I don't have time right now to stand there any longer.

Any thoughts?

 

Is it a oily like film on a small section? I have thaton mine so I took it in to be repaired under warranty and was told that since it does not affect performance or safety Harley will not fix this under warranty.

 

That sounds like purecrap dont take no for an answer HD warranty says defects in material or workmanship not just performance and safety.

 

They are replacing a front cylinder on mine due to a chip on the cooling fin. It dosn't effect performance( I wouldn't knowhow this bike performs still in break-in)but is an eye sore.
