I have a 1998 STX1100. I just bought it and have only ridden it once.
The entire gas gauge part of the LCD screen (the left hand side) just blinks, and the red warning light above is blinking too. I am told that the machine thinks it is out of gas, but this happened after I filled it. I am also concerned because the same light is supposed to warn me of overheating. So now, if it is merely a defective gas-level sending unit, how am I supposed to know if the engine is overheating? (The right side of the LCD screen appears to be working and shows a correct amount of oil.)
Do these STX 1100 units tend to have bad gas-level sensors?
