    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...

    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.

gas gauge float sticking.

Ok so my gas gauge never worked right. Yesterday I took off the tank and messed with the float as it was sticking on E. Put her back together and it worked great. This morning its stuck at E again. Any suggestions? On a side note I can hook the wires backwards and it stays full all the time I can ride forever. That is how that works right? Lol :rolleyes:
 
Take the tank off and listen thru the filler hole to hear which side its rubbing on..and you can tell by the sound.

Next remove it again and bend it the way it needs to go. Reinstall and turn the tank a few times till all you hear is the arm hitting the stops on the housing.
 
I never could get it completely out. No matter how I turned it it wouldn't come through the hole. I had assumed that it had been installed wrong and was stuck against the side causing the float to stick but obviously not the case.
 
It can only go in one way. Otherwise the arm wont go ion to the tank at all.

Take it out straight back and with a turning motion outward as it comes out the hole. the housing will snag a bit on the gasket but just wiggle it past that..no harm no foul.

May as well calibrate it while your at it so you have a reasonable assurity as to what ts reading.
