Hi. I did a quick search for a related topic and only found one thread that talked about a problem almost similar to mine but no real resolution.
I have a 2002 road King Classic and the fuel guage works almost backwards. With a full tank it register dead on E and at about a half a tank tit starts to register tow the full end.. I've had the bike in twice this year for other things and asked that they check that but on both occasions failed to, the only thing they confirmed was that the gauge was operational (by shorting it and confirming it went to full, or something to that effect). My thoughts have been that it may be the sending unit, thinking maybe a connector was reversed because I believe the bike had the fuel pump replaced before I got it and something went back together wrong. I'm told though the connectors only go on one way and that there is a ground wire, send wire and power wire. I question however if it would register at all if the wires were reversed.
Its not a major issue for me since I've always been accustomed to using the odometer for fuel consumption but seeing it always not working properly irks me. I'm contemplating pulling it apart to look at it myself before sending it in to a dealer or elsewhere to fix but to be honest I'm not exactly what I should be looking for when I get it apart. Thoughts?
