A couple minor issues; Inaccurate gas gauge and a speedometer with missing tick.
I've been filling up every 250 miles on my trip meter, sooner if spirited driving + city miles. My gas gauge just isn't reliable, as I have almost a full tank.
As far as the speedometer, you can see im having an issue with the digital readout. It isn't consistent but more often than not, that top left tick is just missing. It's not impacting anything other than my chances of getting pulled over if I don't pay attention.
I plan on eventually upgrading the stock GT radio to either a tablet or maybe a pioneer head unit(open to suggestions) but I'm just trying to figure out the best place to start with all three of these since they'll very likely overlap in maintenance.

Did you change the fuel pump recently? My gas gauge got twitchy after I changed my fuel pump.
It's been a while but I think I remember reading somewhere that it's possible for a wire on the pump to cause it, but I'm not sure.

No the fuel pump hasn't been changed anytime recently.

After you fill the tank the gas gauge may not go to full quickly due damping they use to keep it from bouncing around over bumps, high G turns etc. It will eventually get there. If this is what you’re observing then you can just ignore it.
This car has s dual saddlebag style tank with two senders; one in each saddle. If one goes bad it will always read incorrectly. there’s a way to tell which one it is via the dash. I posted the procedure on here somewhere that allows you to access the actual output ohms on the dash for each one.

No not the same issue. It's just horribly inaccurate, all the time.

this was for the S1, not sure if S2 is different or not since I don’t mess with those too much
