Really, how hard is it to make a reliable fuel gauge, Munich?

my fuel gauge shows full after 100 miles (half empty), and the yellow light comes on with 65 miles left.
dealer says the computer's happy, so no need to replace.
sigh,
ferenc - what's the 36 month 3 year warranty for????

My S1000RR's gauge is absolutely spot on. The moment the countdown gets to zero the bike stalls and dies.

To test to see if my fuel gauge's accuracy was a one-time lucky occurrence, I kept an eye on it as it ticked down a couple of weekends ago.  I had a spare fuel bottle so I wasn't too worried, and I knew the gas station was only 4 miles away.

When the countdown clock rolled over to zero the bike kept going, so my initial reaction was that it wasn't all that spot-on after all.  Those thoughts lasted about 50 yards, then the bike sputtered and died.

So now I know for certain- the countdown clock is to be taken very seriously.

I envy you for your hyperaccurate gas gauge.  Well, that and you can ride circles around me.

Not now.  My bike's blown up.

Sorry man.  That sucks.

Sorry man.  That sucks.  

Yeah, it does.  On the positive side, though, now I'll get a new motor...

You obviously grew bored with just going through tires every 1000 miles decided to go through bikes at that same rate. Miles = destroyer of all things moto.

My bike doesn't have a fuel gauge but it does have a countdown to empty which works. My old Multi had a fuel gauge that was woefully inaccurate so the countdown is a big step up for me. My fat ass can't take more than a couple hours in the saddle at a time so 150 miles or so is good enough range for me.
