After a while though you learn the mileage to go by between fill ups and I am sure I will be doing the same thing with the CB1100...That's the way I've always done it. I can't understand why it seems so difficult to make a fuel gauge that reads accurately. The ZR7s I owned had an analog type gauge that was almost useless too but a member of the ZR7 forum discovered a simple fix- he installed a resistor between two posts on the rear of the gauge and Voila!, the gauge was dead accurate. Maybe if someone here has or knows someone with an electronics background could come up with a solution?
