This one has to deal with my stock gauges: My fuel gauge  does not work. The lights behind the fuel and tachometer don't work. Also, the neutral light only shows when starting in neutral and then goes off. The "low fuel" light does work. I usually just stop at the gas station every 125 miles. Also, when riding. that fuel tank level is bouncing all over the place.

Two things..

First of all your fuel gauge is on the wrong side of the stop pin.  Meaning it needs to be flipped back around.  You'll need to get the gauge out to fix it, and then install a stop pin a little above the full mark.  I used the brad out of a push pin, and colored it black with sharpie.

Second, the dash lights for the gauges are all run off the same harness.  Since you have lights on your speedo, more than likely the other lamps in the cluster are burned out.

Take the faring off, remove the gauge cluster, replace all the lamps and fix the fuel gauge.
