I had this issue once before when the bike was a year old, but it was the sending unit that was bad. Today I was out on a ride with a friend. We stopped for gas after lunch, and after I filled the tank, started the bike and began leaving the station the gas gauge yellow light went on and the needle went to zero. At first I thought it might be the float stuck inside the tank, but after rocking the bike back and forth several times while riding, nothing changed. I rode the bike 100 miles to the lunch destination, and only after filling the tank was there a problem.The time when the sending unit crapped out, along with the needle at zero, the fuel light on, also the warning light was flashing. The flashing light didn't happen this time. Does anyone have a clue what would cause this? Could it be the wiring or a fuse?
Thanks. Going to have to keep eye on this. Turned key on today and yellow gas light came on and went off like it's supposed to. I'm wondering if this was just temporary. Going to have to take it for a little ride and see if gauge still not working. It would be great if this only temporary puke of the gauge.

I know the speedo and gas gauge will act weird if you do that..................don't ask me how I know..............OKAY I DID IT..........ok back to normal.

I was thinking the sending unit became an issue when you dropped to around 1/4 of a tank, but when it was full it was fine. Or am I remembering it backwards?
Well I didn't take it for a ride, but I wheeled it out of the garage and started it, but fuel gauge needle still on zero. Looks like I'm back to square one. I have no way of knowing whether the fuel sender is bad. Does anyone know how to check it, and where is it located?
I could be wrong, but I thought it was located inside the tank. I didn't actually do the replacement of mine when it went bad because it was covered by the dealer.
it is in the tank on the rt side, pull the tank and its held in with 2 8mm headed fasteners easy to do but watch the way you pull it out and the float orientation
