Default Fuel guage
My 2019 Deluxe has developed a fuel guage malfunction. The fuel guage is a horizontal bar graph that now indicates only as much as 3/4 no matter how full of 90 octane recreational (no ethanol) gas is in the tank. Sending unit? Also since I am one of those kids that can't leave things alone, I turned the decorative cap on left side of the tank. Could this have caused problem?

Not sure about the newer bikes but the 17 an earlier bikes I’ve seen the float hang up and I’ve also seen the float come apart. You’re going to to have to get in there and see what’s up.
