#29978 ben757 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 18 Fuel gage indicator 4 Years, 11 Months ago   Hi Road Star lovers, wonder if one of you have had this problem before? My fuel gage indicator is miss-reading the fuel quantity, i.e. when the needle shows about 1/8 above the empty mark, I still have about 10 liters in my thank. Knowing the tank quantity can hold 20 liters , the needle should read about the half of the gage. Question? Is there any ajustement screw or do I have to live with?

The fuel gauge is not very linear. I think yamaha took there standard from the aircraft industry. It is only required to be correct at the E mark.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 50 KB   The administrator has disabled public write access. #29980 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Fuel gage indicator 4 Years, 11 Months ago   Assuming nothing is physically broken, this happens once in a while. It seems that most times if you disconnect the battery overnight the problems mysteriously goes away.

Then ignore what I said; it only works if the fuel gauge starts acting strange.

Last Sunday, my gas gauge literally went from 1/8 tank to E before my eyes - I rode another 5 miles before the Low Fuel light even came on!   Logged     ---- 2006 Midnight Silverado, MaxFlo Air Kit, Roadhouse Classics 2-1 Pipes: OEM manifold, 190 Main, 37.5 Pilot, Needle (3rd groove, OEM white spacer), Maxmix Pro PMS (2.5 turns out), Accel Pump Duration (1 turn out, nut in front), Float Height (w/carb upside down): 16mm, 43+ MPG   The administrator has disabled public write access. #80054 RoadieSL (User) 2004 Midnight Star Expert Boarder Posts: 463 Re:Fuel gage indicator 4 Years, 1 Month ago   My gage has been working great until the last tank now it never goes below about 1/8 and the light never comes on I run it out of gas and had to switch to reserve! I have had the batery disconected working on it could this have caused a problem?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #80058 Mark7 (Moderator) Look for me on MSN chat if you want. Moderator Posts: 2051 Re:Fuel gage indicator 4 Years, 1 Month ago   RoadieSL, I don't know if the battery being out can cause problems with the fuel sender unit, but I will tell you this. My fuel gauge worked well UNTIL the battery died on me one morning and I had to jump start the bike from a car to get home. I've since replaced the battery. However, ever since my low fuel light has been blinking 8 times and the needle never moves. I've tried all the suggested fixes short of replacing the unit, so I guess that's next. BTW my bike is an '04 with less than 5000 miles on it, so go figure!??
