    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am most likely over explaining and thus not making good sense or you may have a slightly different configuration.

no, you make perfect sense, we just have different setups.

my gauge has a black/white wire, a grey wire and an orange wire. my tank sending unit, on the other hand, has a black/yellow wire and a yellow/black wire. now acording to the wiring for my bike, the black/yellow and the yellow/black run to the gauge, but the gauge has black/yellow, orange and yellow/black. and orange. i hooked the orange to the orange from my bike, and the b/y and y/b to the corrosponding wires. but i also had a grey that i ran to a common ground i had.. i'm ognna have to take off the gauge and investagate.
 
OK I found more detail. Save this diagram to your PC and open.
The grey wire is positive for the gauge lamps and goes to the positive thats there when the lights are on. Both the lamp and the gauge have a black/white to negative or ground and may be be combined into one.
There must be a yellow black wire that goes back to the tank sender unit. At the tank definitely two wires a black/white to ground and a yellow/black to the sender.
Have a look at the diagram attached
 
Yeah, the gray is for gauge-lighting, and if this is your 1100 you're working on, then the gauge lights are probably on whenever the ignition's on. The gauge itself only needs 12V to the gauge(wire w/orange), and a variable ground/potentiometer/tank sender between gauge ground(black/black & white wires) and the gauge.
 
well.. the gas gauge has mysteriously started working again. since the continuity checks out on the lines outside the tank, i am starting to wonder if i've got a faulty connection inside.

That sounds good. If it's not the wiring, check this procedure blow to adjust the sender unit. If the wiper does not have enough tension on the sender resitance windings it can lift off and give intermittent readings, sometimes only at some different positions.
