That sounds like an interesting way to check the fuel level . . . . 
Oops, sorry mate, that was a 'small stick' wasn't it. 
Cheers Alex . .

| | Posted : 16 Aug 2013 - 22:06 Post title : Re: fuel guage (Re: fab) | | | ...the reason for the question was that my guys doing my 24000 mile service called me frantically saying that the fuel gauge was not working, and, that Triumph sending units are notorious for going out of whack....and me, upon hearing this over the phone was trying to picture a " fuel gauge" that was separate and distinct from the mode gauge at your right thumb....ergo, the dumbass question.....so....I probably deserve the smartass answer.....

I bet they find that it's is ok all of a sudden.
