just wondering if anyone has had trouble with their fuel gauges on the 2006 sportsmans. I have 2 new sportsmans and both of my fuel gauges do not seem to be working. The tank can almost be empty and it will still register as full on the gauge.

 

The gas gauges don't work right on any of them. Mine says its full until tank is half empty or below. I've read posts from other people having the same problems.

Best to do it the old fashion way, open the tank and look.

500EFI

 

Mine is the same way.

 

both ours are like that, dealer said that its normal. I agree, just open the tank and look.

 

mine reads "full" all the time and when it is almost out of gas it reads "low fuel" and my needle flashes

 

at least you have a gage.thats my only choice, open 'er up and stare down er' hole

 

My kid has a trail blazer, he takes the seat off and you see how much gas there is through the tank .

 

I've noticed the same problem on my '06 Sportsman 500 EFI.

 

I guess it would be difficult to get a reading while moving (tank slap and all that stuff), but shouldn't the gauge be accurate while the bike is sitting still?

 

its just like alot of motorcycles, the gauge doesnt read true. my 800 reads kinda of funny. im going to bring some gas w/ me to run and find out how many miles i can go before i run out. of course that doesnt help if your running hard all the time.
