Gold Boarder Posts: 778 Re:FUEL SENDERS 1 Year ago   what is it not doing? i took mine out and rubbed the contacts with a pencel eraser. i have not had a problem since. just my .02   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #498592 johna (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 130 Re:FUEL SENDERS 1 Year ago   Replaced mine a few monthes back,Tried all sorts of adjustments but still cant get it to read an acurate gas count.Is there anything that it can be replaced with.I looked at the ones that you can get for a boat fuel tank but that would require a hole to be cut in the top of the tank.Dont think i want to go that way. johna   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #498600 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5491 Re:FUEL SENDERS 1 Year ago   I put a 50 ohm 1/2w resistor in the connector, stops the blinking and reads 3/4 tank. The flashes were driving me nuts a night.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #498618 fastjohnny (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1362 Re:FUEL SENDERS 1 Year ago   johna wrote: Replaced mine a few monthes back,Tried all sorts of adjustments but still cant get it to read an acurate gas count.Is there anything that it can be replaced with.I looked at the ones that you can get for a boat fuel tank but that would require a hole to be cut in the top of the tank.Dont think i want to go that way. johna You could get a 1/2" square stick about a foot long with graduated marks on it and periodically stop & dip it in the the tank Better yet - go by the odometer and fill up about every 150 miles or so (depending on your mileage) OR just wait till you have to go to reserve and fill up ASAP.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #498629 roaddogg (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 39 Re:FUEL SENDERS 1 Year ago   Thanks everyone, I will say in 50.000 mi the sender has been the only weak spot on my RS , can't say that about other bikes I've owned that rhyme with Carly . . I have two now to tear into and play with while a new one gets ordered . I just like everything on my bike to work right, or it drives me nuts. I am sending a strongly worded letter to Yamaha CS, hey ya never know they may send me a little sticker for my helmet.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 10399 Re:FUEL SENDERS 1 Year ago   The ethanol in gas will eat away the contacts. I think some of this gas has more in it than is marked on the pumps and those that don't mark them who knows how much is really in there. I saw a bulletin from Marathon here in Ky that in march their gas somehow got more than 10% ethanol in it.Most of the central part of the state was affected. http://www.mpcresponds.com/go/site/4879/   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/06/02 18:59 By Greysnake.   06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access.
