Fuel Gauge Not Reading Correctly

[aussie]

Hi guy's I just recieved my bike back from having it converted into a Lehmann Renegade LLS 12 days ago and like stated in the Paperwork pack I recieved from Lehman my Fuel gauge goes haywire after it reaches the half full mark. Is there an easy fix for this problem.
Cheers Eddie

what do mean by Haywire?? what are the symptoms?

The needle bounces one minute reading half full, a few minutes reads later less than quarter, then back to half. So I have no idea what fuel i have left after I reach half full.

Harley had a recall on the fuel gauge tank unit starting in 2008. Since I don't know the year of your particular motorcycle, the tank unit might be the culprit. Perhaps the journey to and from the trike shop may have loosened something up ???

Have a look at the float and make sure it is unencumbered.

Hi guy's, thanks for your ideas. Its a 1012 Ultra Classic.
I recieved some paperwork with the Kit, and it saaid that i mighr experiance this, So I thought that If they knew about it, there may be a fix for it.

It seems like they might know about a problem that is inherent with their work. I would ask them what the known problem would be first.

I second that suggestion.

Your bike is a 2012, 23 yrs. newer than mine so i don't know of the changes made in that time.

You might go on ebay just to see what it looks like?
You might even check to see if the wire plug is tight?
