Good morning, I'm thinking of getting the fuel gauge fro the R3C, the look nice on the bikes i have seen with them but i hear (or read) that there is a calibration issue with those, anyone has any experience with these issues? Any words of wisdom?
thanks
 
The wisdom is there is only one sending unit so if it's not calibrated correctly, neither is the analog acessory gage. You'd be better off with the clock.

If you want to clutter up the handlebars with acessory junk, get a stereo and handlebar mounted speakers.
 
Don't bother....

It's the same sending unit that turns on your low-gas warning light. Use the tried/true method. When you hit 130 miles on the odometer, get some gas.
 
It's different riding in the West.

There is a sign at the south end of Death Valley that says 'Next gas 142 miles'. Wouldn't you like to know how much you have left?
 
Wouldn't care... because I wouldn't be riding IN A DESERT!

Even with the gas gauge, you still wouldn't know how much you have left because unless

  • you've either been lucky enough to get one of the few floats that's actually calibrated correctly or
  • you've disassembled your gas tank and calibrated the float yourself
You'd still be screwed.

Sorry... channeling BusaJack ....
