Default gas gauge

hi i am having problems with my gas gauge on my 09 night rod. anybody know what i could be or where i could start to try and find the problem.

the gauge is always telling me the tank is full. every now and then it will give me the correct reading for a while.

thanks
anthony

sorry to give you the news. the gas gage is junk. you can replace it for 85 to 100 dollars but it is just going to do it again. i haven't had a gas gage in almost 2 years. it got replace 3 times on warrenty and i am not forken the money over when i know that in town when i get to 125miles time to fill it up. highway 170miles time to fill her up. might not be empty but i haven't ran out of gas in them ranges.

+1 on nightrodder's comment . . . our '09 Muscle has already had the ?float? in the tank replaced because of erratic gas gauge readings and a custom bike I had a few years ago with a HD fuel gauge system had the same issues. Reset your tripmeter at every gas fill-up and go by your miles . . . way more reliable, has worked for me since before they thought of gas gauges on motorcycles!
