Angry Stupid Fuel Gauge!!!!!!!!

I am new here so if I am bringing up a old worn out topic.. Sorry...

Anyways I have an 04 Fatboy fuel injected and my fuel gauge is acting up. When the bike is off (ignition ****) the fuel gauge goes to empty. When you turn the bike on it acts like normal (when you have a full tank of gas) and slowly rises to full. The bike is no where full at 165 miles on a tank.

Any of you had this problem? Did you fix it yourself? Any tips or advice?


Thanks,
Geddy
