From now on - they're covered as warranty items. Get it fixed.I'm on my third strip on my '09 GSA; I've just gone back to old skool: I rest the trip meter and use that for my gas gauge, assuming 40 mpg. The electronic gauges has been completely worthless and as accurate as watch bought from a back alley vendor.
Just a quick word on assuming 40 mpg. Don't.
My 07 RT has a habit of deciding on its own, just how many miles per gallon it thinks is appropriate for any given day. I've been rewarded with as little as 22 mpg - this on a motorcycle that has returned as much as 50.55 mpg.
For me - on a motorcycle I can't easily open the filler and actually see how much fuel I have - riding without at least some reasonable reference of what's in the tank is a non-starter. I don't ride in town much and live and ride mostly in the desert southwest. There are a number of areas I routinely ride where it's 100 miles or so between smiling faces - and further between fuels. I do run a 4 gal fuel cell to ride further and know not to pass an open station out here - in hopes one down the road will still be there [which during the IBR - the one that WAS there a year before - was now gone] - but when my fuel display isn't working - I head straight to the dealer for a fix.
