fuel gauge fault
« on: 01 April 2021, 09:24:00 am »
my fuel guage is not reading correctly only just happened last ride , filled up to the brim yet the fuel gauge only read half way, after about 100 miles it then read near empty then orange fuel warning light came on , so im possibly thinking sender unit faulty ?
anyone had this issue before ?
also if it is sender unit where is that located , underside of the tank i guess ?


 TIA

its in the bottom of the tank.
Lift the tank and make sure the electrical connection is good first. High resistance will show and empty tank.

exactly what i was gonna say, make sure all the connectors are clean, sometimes even just disconnecting and reconnecting can fix problems.
a can of electrical contact cleaner is a handy thing to have laying around
