Fuel Guage
I have an FLHR and I'm having problems with my fuel guage. Hard as I try when filling it up, the guage never reads full. It always reads well low of actuall. For instance, yesterday I filled up showing about 1/8th tank and put in under 3 gallons. I know I can just look at the miles and guestimate, but should I have to do that on a new bike?
I called the dealership and they said they would look at it. Has anyone else had this problem on their Road King or similar?
Any thoughts?

There are two possible problems with your gauge., One, the sender unit is bad, or two, the float arm needs to be adjusted. H-D gauge are notoriously bad, but mine finally works well after the dealer installed a new sender unit and adjusted the float arm. I still use the odometer as a cross check for when I need to get gas.

I always use the guage as an indication... I go by miles and reset the trip odomiter at each fill up. Never liked the guage set up at all. I swapped out the ambient temp guage for an oil temp guage. Figured that was a little more useful.
