The fuel strip (fuel level measurement device) is to be replaced and appropriately calibrated only if the fuel
gauge has repeatedly not indicated the correct fuel level during recent trips.
Please recommend to the customers that they should always reset one of the two trip odometers each time
the motorcycle is refueled so that ridden miles can also be used as a secondary indicator of the appropriate
distance to refuel, based upon riding experience.
PARTS INFORMATION
Obtain and confirm the part numbers for your specific vehicle by entering the chassis number in ETK which
takes into account specific equipment and/or options.
Additional parts like gaskets, hardware and chemicals may be required for the complete repair.
