Bouncing Fuel Guage

[HJFazer]

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

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!

Correct. Id jumping the gun there. I usually propose foccers run wiring checks first, always. So good suggestion. Sorry

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.
