Default Shouldn't Gas Gauge Light Up?

I picked up my '07 Ultra last night and while my wife and I were out for a cruise I noticed that all of the gauges were lit up except the gas gauge.

It's supposed to be lit too I would think. It is under warranty for another year so I'm not concerned just want to know for sure.

Yes, it and all of your gauges should be lit up.

Yes it should.
My oil light burned out and the stealer replaced it
and charged me $39.bucks to replace a $3.50 bulb!
I was mad as hell cuz, they did it and never even
called me to tell me it was a "wear" item not covered
under warranty. Crap! I could of changed that bulb myself
if I knew that! Had it in for the 5k service at time.
I raised a stink with them and told the service Mgr. if
anything is not under warranty they should call me and
let me know before doing the work.
Bike is 6 monthsgez, what a rip.

Sorry, it just chaps me. Anyway just be aware it might cost you
if you let stealer do it.

Thanks for the info Trapskelly. I hadn't thought about it being a $40 wear item replacement at a dealer. It probably is just a bulb - I'll get one and one of these days I know I'll open up the fairing anyway to put an oil temp gage inplace of the air temp.

Just wanted to give you a heads up.

I'm considering doing the same thing you are
with the useless air temp gauge.
