Default Gas Gauge issues
So after removing my tank on the off season, my gas guage didn't lite up or work .. i unclipped the harness under the left side of the tank and one of the prongs was bent.. I straitened it out and plugged it in and it lit up and read full .. and it was a full tank .. just came back from a ride and my guage still reads full but the digital one thinks it's low fuel, I can still see gas in the tank and it's far from empty... rides fine

any ideas?

Sounds like issues with the fuel "float" in the tank....or the sending unit........but that's just a guess.
