I wouldn't be to concerned if it doesn't work but. They are the most inaccurate fuel gauge I've ever encountered on any bike I've ever owned. Mine gets to 1/4 and then just goes to empty...lol. I go off the odometer when I need to fill her up.

[QUOTE=jarvid;1115245]I must be the odd one out, mine is extremely accurate, go figure...The best one I ever found Jarvid was on my 1997 GSX750F. It was so accurate I never had any dramas with running out of fuel. Cheers.

i always use the cutout/reserve method. when she starts sputtering and losing power i switch to the reserve and head for the nearest fuel station. don't forget to switch back to normal afterwards or the next time can be a long walk

There's something electrical wrong with mine also. Sometimes it will show full when I know I'm getting close to empty. I just reset my tripometer when I fill up and use it as a gauge.
