Glee speedo fuel gauge fault?

[UK_Vstrom650]

Noticed a weird thing with my fuel gauge recently (happened once previously but three times today despite full tank of BP fuel since last night). When I turn the electrics on the fuel gauge has one block lit up which then moves progressively up the blocks to the end then starts over from the beginning. It does this until the electrics turn off.

Previously turning it off and on again fixed it, and did this morning until I pressed the start button then it did it again for a few minutes before the gauge showed a full five bars. Coming home today,  I used the kill switch on the drive, turned electrics off whilst opening the gate, turned the electrics back on and it did it again until turned off/on again.

Have posted some pics below but was wondering if anyone might have come across this previously (loose connection? ) or have any thoughts?











Thanks in advance

Interesting....

Maybe it's a new built in game: you've to stop the bar where the fuel level really is & win a prize?

Maybe worth disconnecting the battery for a minute to see if it clears itself?

Is the temp gauge also playing up? Looks to be sitting at the top from memory.

Whenever a CHEC is displayed, the temps bars are all filled to draw extra attention to the display and the red light is lit because the engine is not running so there is no oil pressure.

I've seen another report on the fuel bars cycling. I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks for the replies. As GW says nothing wrong with the temp gauge,  it returns to normal once kill switch (in this case) is reset.

Had a look at the link however didn't appear to be a solution to that one, just a few with the same and disconnecting the battery didn't seem to help. May take a trip to the dealer to ask them to look as the bike is still under warranty.

(Unrelated but another thing I've noticed on occasion is when changing gear from 1st to 2nd the gear indicator sometimes briefly shows 3 before going back to 2. Always thought it was just one of those things but the above has me wondering now)

Fair enough: I sold mine a year ago so memory failing....

I'd get it to the dealer if it's still under warranty - nothing to be lost & maybe ward off a bigger issue brewing for after it expires!
