Hi,

thank you for reply. Yes, same here. The bike is working normal.
Problem is, I have to fix this. If it is blinking in case of technical control the bike failed and I have to retry. Thats expensive and burning a lot of time.

@GoldOxide
Thank you for your hint. I think in my case it isn't a heat problem. The problem also arrived, before i start to ride and the bike is in the garage.
After shaking the bike it will be fine again. In europe this part is about 800 EUR... i think next step is to remove and review the pump.

@Max: thank you for the link.

If I understand your post, it sounds like in your case, you only get the strange indication over a certain range of fuel levels. That sounds like, as others have indicated, some sort of fault in the sender, and not with the wiring (though you never know...)

Definitely worth taking it out, plugging it in to the bike, and looking at the indication throughout the range of motion of the float arm.

Just to level set expectations though, tank removal on the 2017 isn't as straightforward as some might think. The release mechanism on the fuel line isn't a simple thing, and there is very little room to work it, or even to see what you're doing. The videos online are all from pre-2017s that I found. If you search here, you'll find some tips, and with persistence I'm sure you'll work it out. I can do a tank swap now in a few minutes, but the first time I tried to remove the tank it took me the better part of an afternoon.
