Gas Guage

[David Kro]

I recently filled up the gas tank on my '05 tiger 955i. Within minutes of driving off the guage went down to E and the low fuel light came on. After a few more minutes it returned to F then did this little dance about 4 more times. Is my bike possessed?

The gas gauge demon got you. I have heard of this happening and it once happened to me with my Tiger 800XC. I simply turned the bike off for a couple of minutes, restarted and went on my way. Let us know if the problem persists.

Thank you

Sounds like my 2000 gmc pick up truck.

This is pretty common. I think the whole time I owned my Girlie, the gas gauge worked for a whole day. . . that is if you added up all the times it worked, then it worked for a whole day. The best fuel gauge is the odometer.
