I only fill up about once a month, and I don't fill until the Gauge is on empty. But the last time I did fill up, the needle didn't rise. I figured there might have been some condensation in the tank because we've had some cold weather lately, so perhaps the sender got stuck. But after a few days of me riding over big bumps, the needle barely moved..

On a whim I disconnected the battery to reset everything, and what do you know? The Gauge went right up to full... WTF?

What do you think happened here? :burnout:

See if you have a P0463 code.

After a fill up, when re-inserting the key, make sure you go straight to start, don't let it sit in run first. It can go into slosh mode and take some time to respond.
