I'm glad I found this - my fuel gauge is driving me nuts. Its showing 1/4 after only 120 miles. Last time it showed empty I put 4 gallon in. Resistance is useful...
Looks like you've got Totally Wired Cycles fuel gauge adjuster installed. They're no longer available, unfortunately. It should have a plastic sleeve covering it to protect it.I have one on my bike. I've got it adjusted so I hit my reserve just as the gauge goes into the red zone.
What's really annoying is riding at a sedate 65mph ..ish and then being overtaken or tailgated by a nun in a Fiat. As soon as I speed up to a happy speed I know das polizie are waiting. Not fair
