Jeepster..yes I have to remove it each time. Simply drain the tank down with some fuel hose and use the PRIme position. I am getting pretty good at estimating the amount of bend I need. Last tank I did read about 1 1/2 needles too high so about a 1/4 inch adjustment was all that was needed.
Basically like i said, if reads high you bend the arm up. Move the arm to the top stop and then give it a tweek a little higher than where it stops..do the opostie for it being a low reading.Let the arm fall to the bottom and then gauge how much you gotta tweek it down. Last tank took me just two tries to have it settling right on the half tank mark.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

Heres another little tip. have the bike on the center stand or otherwise upright like when riding AND be sure the tank is setting down all the way . Dont need to bolt it in but be sure its installed all the way. I know this from experience...lolMY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Some of you guy's must have very sensitive hands, tried it many times, feeling the tank that is LOL, never thought it worked, not for me at least. Gotta be some law in the US for children ouid fellas and grown men playing with Lighters, Matches. Me, I just use the fuel gauge.
2 "L"s 850 & 1100 both on reserve always. 1st half "big half" ha ha, about 90/95 miles 2nd half about 40 then the needle will go of the red end of the gauge, wouldn't recommend it,
after that, just pray your very/very close ! so close you might need reverse.Comment
