My gas gauge seems to be off on 2010 ultra classic, is this normal? I am new to Harley Davidson and have heard that there are problems with gauges.

 

Welcome to he wonder world of HD. The gauge on my SG isn't accurate either. Don't know of many that are. Watch your trip meter to know when to fill up

 

Fuel gauge on my '03 is a joker, use the trip meter only.

 

Your gage IS off. Mine indicates empty with half a tank left. Very Poor! This is the kind of stuff that I can't understand. If they can't provide something that works, why do it at all. I have used the miles for years and am ok with that. Why not put in an oil temp gauge or something more useful. The air temp and fuel gauges are useless.

 

Only Harley I ever owned with a decent gas Gauge was the 08 EGS .. My 09 Ultra will give you " An Idea " The rest were way off .. The Heritage I just rented out in AZ was a total joke would got from Full to Empty in less than 100 miles.. Use the Odometer for when to Fuel ..

 

After I adjusted the float arm,mine reads better.I still go by the odometer.

 

The gauge on the '10 is wrong, but the remaining mileage on the odometer has not failed me, yet. I have run it down to within 15 miles of being empty. Kind of scares me without a reserve, but that's what girlfriends are for, to bring you gas when you run out. Right?

 

I use my gas gage as just that...a gage. The "remaining" is pretty darn accurate. I've run mine down to single digits (not on purpose, I left my fuel door key at home). Imagine paying $20K for a car and the gas gage doesn't work...hmmmmm. There'd be a recall.

 

Just use one of your trip meters to keep track of miles traveled. The miles remaining indicator also works real well. My '10 shows empty on the guage when I still have over 2 gallon left. Don't trust the low fuel light either as they aren't consistent. On my '05 RKC the light would come on and I better be pulling into a gas station because when it came on it had less than 15 miles worth of gas. Learned this the hard way by having to push it the last 1/2 mile to fill up. My '07 SG had about 1.3 gallon left when the light came on.

 

Whew, I thought that my LED gas gauge was broke. I'm glad to hear that this is the norm.
