And stack and I are close by, Portland and Seattle.  We probably have similar gas suppliers.

I've been using non-ethanol fuel for about 9 months.  Portland might have some stations.  They are more common in rural areas, but perhaps Oregon is more strict about it.

The closest ones to me are too far away to be convenient.

I spoke to Kevin on this.  There were some problems with the early units and they were redesigned.  The float actually going bad and not floating like mine is not a common failure.

update: had my dealer replace the sensor and it appears (so far) that the new part has solved the matter.

Mine crapped out too. After reading all these fixes I made a decision. Use a sharpie and color in the little gas pump. No light no problem.

I probably mentioned this in another post but my fuel level sensor quit working too.

This is on a 2011 model that I've had for 10 months.

Mine never turns on any more.

Checking at the wiring connector power is being supplied to the switch when the key is on and the downstream wire to the light shows that everything is connected with just a few ohms of resistance which I think represents the light bulb.

I would have to ride about 20 miles to a repair shop and no telling how long it would take them to replace the switch so, for right now, I'll just rely on my Sharpie permanent marker to keep track of the mileage and ride on.

Funny Arizoni because I have a G5 deluxe that I bought in early December and my fuel light stopped working too last week...I found out when I pretty much ran out of gas during a long ride (several electrical problems in the three or so months I've had it...speedometer didn't work at outset, Neutral indicator crapped out, and now fuel light). Waiting for dealer to get part and then I'm getting it replaced...should be later this week.

Writing the km with felt tip marker on the chrome handlebar yolk whenever you top up is a very relaible fuel gauge.

I usually shoot for about 150 miles between refills.
That ends up costing me about 2 gallons worth and gives me another gallon in the tank for an additional 70+ miles range for those times when a filling station isn't available.

Besides that, on a long ride, my butt wants a break after 150 miles of riding.
