    fuel gauge question

    Hi I have a gs1000g

    the fuel gauge has never worked, i have tried putting the leads directly to the power to see if the needle moves but it doesn't

    does anyone know what could be the problem please?

    There are several small wire in the guage itself that could be broke, could be a bad wire from where the two wires plug in at the gas tank forward. I have had all kinds of troubles with mine in the last 3 weeks but i got it all squared away now. First thing i would do is bend a piece of wire in a U shape and jump across the two wires that lead TO the guageat the wiring harness. If that doesnt make it move then i would suspect the guage itself.. If it does move then the problem lies in the sending unit in the tank. I had to take my sending unit out and found a wire had lost its solder connection in there and had to resolder it.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
