A while back my gas tank got filled with some bad fuel. I had to have the bike towed and the gas removed. Since then the fuel gauge has never worked properly. Any ideas on how to fix this?
It's still under the 1 year OEM warranty. With the problem happening after the bad fuel, I'm thinking it may not be covered.
Can you provide more information what was wrong with that sending unit?
I have the following problem:
My fuel indicator shows the last bar blinking even if I have full tank. I took out fuel pump to see if there is problem with fuel gauge meter. Every thing looks fine. I even took a tester and checked if the resistance is changing while moving the float up and down. I see on tester that the resistance is changing, however speedometer always shows last fuel bar blinking.
Any ideas on that?
Ok here's what I've done:
taken the fuel pump out of the tank, inspected the sensor but am unable to see anything faulty.
there's a wee silver cyclinder that the positive and negative connect to, I gather this is some sort of variable resistor, possibly will a float in it or some such thing.
I took the nose fairing off and inspected the plug, no faults, no loose wire, I inspected the plug that the front wire loom connects through and found no issue with the fuel light wire.
I made the mesurement of resistance and I see it is about 200 ohm. According to the manual it should be around 20 to 140 ohms.
I chucked a 100ohm resistor on the plug, the flashing stopped.
I make the conclusion that fault is in the sensor in the tank.
