We should be seeing the new gauges soon. Triumph has finally stopped 
replacing them until the new units hit the field.

For David A.,

The gauge even after replacement will take about 80-100 miles to come off 
of full. The reason for this is the sensor tube cannot go all the way to 
the top of the tank because of the angle of the back of the tank. It takes 
about 80-100 miles to drain the fuel to the top of the sensor. Also, the 
tank gets narrower as you go down so the needle will drop quick as you get 
down the tank. These properties of the gauge will not change after the new 
fix, but the bouncing needle and yellow light with a full tank etc will be 
solved.
