1) When I fill up the gas tank to the rim and wait a while/burp it to make sure it is full, the gas gauge almost goes to the full line but falls just short.

2) When the gas light comes on I still have a gallon and a half of gas in the tank.

Is that what everyone else is seeing? Can the gas gauge be adjusted to read higher on a full tank so the light comes on at the 1 or half gallon point?

not a big deal, just curious.

thats what mine does

That is the same as I have seen, 6900 miles and I have never seen it touch the full mark.

That is the same as mine and I have not put the distance to empty (range) to any serious test, nor do I plan to as debris sinks to the bottom of the tank.

Mine does the same thing, only the light comes on about 3/4 gallon or less.

Mine does the same thing. I was on a trip in CA and when I went to refuel it took 5.98 gallons (converted from litres of course). I was running on fumes. Goes to Fuel light right about 1.0 gallons

the Cross Country gauge is just as bad. I normally get around 180-190 a tank and seldom can squeeze in over 4 gallons.

I found that if you fill it as it sits on the kick stand to the top then just lift it straight and back down on the stand you can get more fuel in the tank mine always reaches the full or above mark. but every bike could be different. 08 vision
