Hey all new to the forums. Had a simple question. When i first bought my Iron 2013 i had a fuel light that came on when i was getting low. well the light has not been coming on lately so i took it to my dealer to have them fix it. they sall me today and said that these bikes have no sensor for fuel.
So my question is, am i retarded or are they messing with me? cause i know there is a light.
All Sportsters (2007 and later) have a low fuel light and sensor (sending unit) in the gas tank. It became standard when the Sporty was switched from carbs to EFI in 2007.
thats what i thought, so i called another dealership and they confirmed there is a sensor in there so i guess i will be taking it to them. thank you for your help
I gave you some erroneous information. The fuel level light will display only while performing the diagnostic check, not just turning the key.

Harley has a new "Fuel Level Sensor" that is meant to be used with the new fancy digital speedos they came out with. The speedo/sensor combo track your fuel better than the stock fuel sender unit in our Sportys, or at least its supposed to. That may have been what that dealer was talking about but you wouldn't need the sensor unless you were adding the digital speedo to. If that's not what they were talking about then I would agree with Guzzi and say that they have their heads up some body parts.
The fuel light on my 2014 superlow with a 4.5 gallon tank comes on when there is 1.8 gallons left. I wish it would wait till at least there is 1 gallon but it is what it is.
I spoke to the dealer about it and they brushed it off.
