Bouncing Fuel Guage - HJFazer - 04-08-14
Hi,
So as the subject suggests, ever so often, usually after about 2 hours of motorway riding, my fuel guage decides to just bounce up and down as it wishes for a while. I figured maybe it was to do with the temperature of the bike affecting a connection somewhere as it only really happens after its been in use solidly for a couple of hours.
After I've stopped it seems to go back to normal with no issues. I just wondered if anyone else had encountered this before at all or if anyone had any ideas? I'm not massively concerned, I know what I get to a tank so I can judge it, but I'd still like to fix it if possible
Cheers
HJR

Only sure way is to test the sender in situ and also off tank....
Can you remove/able to remove the sender and we can run some electrical diagnostics?

I had the same issue. Checked the wires and cleared connection that is on the frame under the tank (lift the tank and you will see it), a bit of corrosion there and loose connection itself. Works ok from then! Hope that helps!

I have this issue too, my old bike, suzuki gsx 600f did the same...
I can have empty tank, put £10 in it will show full, ride it for 10 miles ill have half a tank then a full tank! then itll go down slowly and then fuel light on and off for miles then itll finaly go from 1/4 to FILL UP OMFG!!
or i put £25 fuel in and well it does the same just a bit slower.
