2007 Harley-Davidson Vrscdx fuel system problems

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I HAVE A 2007 VROD VRCDX MY FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS FAILS TO READ ACCURATE FUEL LOAD, WHILE RIDING IT GOES FROM FULL OR HALF TANK TO EMPTY. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE THAT HARLEY WON'T FIX IS MY BRAKE AND CLUTCH RESERVOIRS ARE LEAKING AND CAUSING PAINT TO COME OFF. YOU PAY SO MUCH FOR THESE BIKES AND HARLEY STILL REFUSES TO FIX THEIR PROBLEMS. I JUST WANT THEM TO FIX MY PROBLEMS FOR FREE, TO BAD ALAMO HARLEY DAVIDSON WILL NOT FIX IT EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT BIKE THERE.

INTERMITTENT FUEL GAUGE READINGS. HAPPENED DURING WARRANTY, NOT REPAIRED BY HARLEY DAVIDSON. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT TELLS YOU HAVE HALF A TANK AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AT HIGH SPEEDS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

I HAVE A 2007 HARLEY VRSCDX MOTORCYCLE. THE FUEL GAUGE HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE AT VARIOUS FUEL LEVELS IT WILL DROP TO "EMPTY OR FULL". IT BEGAN BEFORE THE WARRANTY WAS VOID BUT BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT THE DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT AND TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NEAR THE DEALER WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FORCE IT TO HAPPEN. IT HAS TWICE PROVIDED WRONG READINGS THAT RESULTED IN BEING STRANDED ON A HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. THE FUEL GAUGE OR SENDING UNIT IS NOT RELIABLE AT ALL. BEING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY ON A MOTORCYCLE OUT OF GAS IN THE CARPOOL LANE IS NOT A SAFE PLACE TO BE...

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS FUEL WHEN EMPTY. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AND CAN BE HAZARDS ON BUSY HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES. I OWN A 2007 HARLEY DAVIDSON NIGHT ROD SPECIAL AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT HARLEY DAVIDSON HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
