Adjust fuel gauge - possible?
Is there any way to adjust the fuel gauge on a street bob?
I never look at the gauge but use the trip counter to decide when it is time to fill the tank. But the warning light comes on way to early, and thats a bit irritating.
There must be some kind of float in the gas tank. Maybe that could be adjusted in some way(?)

My mistake! I just rechecked the manual and there is a float. Geeze! My bad!
I would think just slightly bending the float arm downward should make the light stay off longer as long as the light is contolled by the float position.

Be careful. A little bend can go a long way.
and if you forget to reset the tripmeter the last time you fuel, it could mean a lot of expended energy pushing up that 6% grade.

Yep, carefully bending it downward would make it stay on longer.
Or carefully bending it upward should make it stay off longer.
