sdwillie Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hey guys. Today I left my house with a full tank and rode 100 miles and when I got to my stop I realized my gauge was still at full. Thought it was a little strange so on the way home i decided to get gas it took about 2 gallons. I then clocked another 70 miles and the gauge didn't move again. I wouldn't be so bothered but this just started since I removed the tank to sync the throttle bodies. Any ideas what it could be? Thx 2016 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted September 22, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted September 22, 2018 That sounds perfectly normal in my experience. Mine reads full until it drops to half tank reading, usually around 100-115 miles, then it starts dropping quicker. 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angrygirafe Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Mine usually stays at full untill 85-90 miles, 100 if I’m being good. It does start to drop a lot faster after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcal616 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 we have learned to ignore the gas gauge and go by miles accumulated... I use "trip meter 1" for this, reset it each fill up... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 125 is about when mine goes off of "full" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tktplz Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 105 or so, sometimes as much as 115 then a rapid decline. Just like an 80's Chevy Truck. Stays full to 3/4 for what seems like 1/2 a tank but it still says 3/4. From 3/4 on seems like you use an 1/8 of a tank just to pass a car or accelerate hard up to 70 or so. At 200 miles to 205 I put in 4.3 gallons. So now I try to fill up by 200 or so. Not gonna push it 235 at all. Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun!

nhchris Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 What is the behavior of the gage when you first turn on the key? Do all segments sequentially illuminate? cb 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tktplz Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 What is the behavior of the gage when you first turn on the key? Do all segments sequentially illuminate? cb Yeah everything works fine. Did you drive the bike 130 miles or so on a full tank? and did it change for you? Mine changed at 113 miles this last time. Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun!

Since others have said theirs doesn't really drop until after that I will check next time I can get out on a nice long ride. 2016 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal yes; logical no. So there’s nothing wrong with your fuel gauge, other than Yamaha’s design. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
