Hey everyone,

I have a 2019 ATAS with 1300 kms on the clock and haven't had any issues but I decided to install the Guglatech mazinga pump protection system and fuel filter after reading about the issue.

Like everyone else, and even with only 1300 kms ridden, there were a lot of chips in the tank and filter - see the photos. I cleaned the welds in the tank using a brush, rinsed out the tank several times with petrol and then installed the mazinga and fuel filter.

The bike is now running perfect...

BUT

It seems there is an issue with the fuel level sensor. I filled the tank up to the brim and the gauge is only showing one bar above half. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm fearing that I might have knocked the fuel gauge float when I was cleaning it (?)

Update - if anyone has this fuel sensor issue after disconnecting the battery when taking the tank off, try disconnecting the reconnecting the battery again. This worked for me. Everything is working fine now.
