Is It Terminal ? - otis - 26-08-13
My fuel gauge was acting up so removed clocks and opened them up. Gave them a good clean and tweek. Before assembling them back in housing I plugged in and tested - all good. Noticed one of the bulbs out so swapped with one that worked to check if bulb or connection and it was the bulb. But as I was testing it again I touched the circuit board on the frame and there was a puff of smoke and now nothing works :'( Are the clocks shot or is there a fuse hidden some where for the clocks ?

Does the bike still start? Have u checked the main fuse? Smoke from the clocks they sound knackered now mate

Did you not get the standard 3 wishes with the puff of smoke?

Bike runs as normal but no speedo, fuel gauge, rev counter or odometer so figured they are goosed

In what way was the fuel gauge originally acting up?
Re: Is It Terminal ? - otis - 27-08-13
Fuel gauge was still showing full after 120 miles of 'progressive' riding. It would then show just under half when I know that it was near empty after that it would just do it's own thing going quarter to over half and back again.
After I stripped clocks and gave it a good clean and blow out with air line it was spot on again. That was until num-nuts here earthed the board on the frame.

Think you'll find that's normal behaviour for these gauges, they stay past full for ages, i've never bothered figuring out how long for but i know it's way more than it should be?
Then all of as sudden it'll just start dropping rapidly, and if the bike isn't level it'll be all over the place!
They've never been what i would call accurate anyway.

As far as fuel gauges go I only ever pay attention to the light coming on!

Sounds like you blew the signal fuse. Does your tail/brake light still work. If not then it is most likely the signal fuse. Remove it and replace it as it can be difficult to see if it is blown.

The signal fuse is in the fuse box. Inside the cover there is a list. There is a backup fuse but I cannot remember if it is under the tank or seat.
