I last rode my 22 Fx until it was beeping so long I COULD silence the alarm correctly it would still come back on every 5 minutes to be silenced again. Went about 6 miles like this. I just filled up for the weekend and it only took 12 gallons. Slow fueling and topped off. 12.2 to be precise.Old Ski is Running Great. New Ski is Awesome! sigpicComment

I have a few updates to share. This isn’t anywhere near as terrible as it’s made out to be, at least on my ski. I did a long ride yesterday and wanted to see how far I could push it. Here's my trip
The fuel gauge basically has 3 different levels of low fuel warning. The first one the bottom 2 bars of the gauge turns yellow. This happened around 50 miles into my trip. The next stage the last bar on the fuel gauge turns red and it sounds the beeper. I could make this go away if I came to a stop. The lowest fuel level, the gauge bars turn a shadow red like you can see in the pic. At that point there’s roughly 3.5 gallons in the tank. I don’t think I would push this ski any farther than I did on this trip. I’ll be filling the tank shortly to see how much fuel it actually takes and see how accurate the trip meter is. I never let the gauge shut down on this trip so I could keep the trip computer numbers from resetting.
Here is something else I found. They are available in the US too, but I found this can at Canadian Tire. It’s perfect size and shape to fit in the FX front storage bin. I carried an additional 3 gallons in the can just in case I got too low to make it to the ramp while testing what the range on this ski could be.

That is actually pretty reasonable for the fuel gauge vs fuel remaining; however, it’s not a stock set up, is it?? You have installed the previously discussed by you modifications mentioned in this thread? So the relative “terribleness” isn’t quite directly comparable if so…2023 FX Cruiser SVHO Stage 1+(Riva cold air intake, crankcase breather, solas 13/18, riva gen2 ride plate, gen 2 intake grate, turbosmart BOV, ribbon delete)Comment

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know the low level stages and about how much fuel is remaining beyond that.I have a few updates to share.

It definitely must vary amongst skis then. Mine is way worse as I posted here.Comment

I haven't gone to the point that the beeper goes off but the other day I rode until I was at two yellow bars. Stopped at the marina to fuel up and it took about 11 gallons. Probably could've got another gallon in the tank but the kid working the pump just stopped when the handle clicked.
Assuming the tank holds 17 gal. two bars is about 35% left. That doesn't seem too bad and is similar to how my Kawasaki behaved.Comment
