What owners wrote
The digital strip fuel gauge simply froze in the full position, it no longer registers nor does the miles remaining digital readout.
Fuel strip failed, going from approximately 150 miles to empty to --- miles to empty immediately. Fuel strip was replaced 5 times in total before I sold the motorcycle 6/15/13 with ~7,500 miles on the bike.
