Hi folks, a bit of a strange video, I hooked up a sensor to the bikes loom and dipped it in acetone to see if it would work before removing the sensor from the bike ..
I used a 1Kohm NTC thermistor, seems to work well...

Thank you very much for the insightful video. My 99 R1 keeps alerting me to a fuel level sender fault so I’m glad I’ve found a solution.

Hi just a thought, I have just made a video about the flashing fault code on the R1 to do with the low fuel indicator, in my case it was a bad ground... I just posted the video if it helps.. Cheers

Quick update, took the bike out and the light came on when it should,also the display showed "F" and 0.0 this tells you how far you have traveled since the light came on , after filling up the light went out and 5Km later the display went back to normal..👍👍👍

Hi there - thanks for the video. I ended up replacing the switch with a newer one.. it is a bit longer than the original so the low fuel warning will come on sooner. BTW when the bike is running are your front indicators always on?

@myturkishlife1777 15 күн бұрын

Hi, thanks for the comment, no my indicators are not always on, I changed them over for some "running" type indicators that have a DRL on the front indicators and a red on the rears ... In another video I changed the stock fuel tap with one that has a reserve option too, only because I was caught out before when the low fuel light didn't work and I ran out of fuel and had no reserve , so having this reserve tap is a "back up" worth doing I reckon and very easy .. Cheers 👍

Could you please tell me what resistance will be on the empty tank and on the full one?

@myturkishlife1777 22 күн бұрын

Hi, I can't remember testing for this, I did test the resistance but it was open,hence why it didn't work.. To be honest if it is your sensor I would just buy some and change it over, it's pretty simple, or even connect the new sensor on some wire and dip in acetone to see if it works on your bike.. Cheers 👍

Very nice video, do you have a link where you bought the thermistor and power rating 0,25W?

@myturkishlife1777 Жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for the reply, I think I bought them online from RS components, they are quite a common part as far as I know.. Regards

Great video, I have a 5JJ in red, it’s immaculate and I love it. My fuel gauge hasn’t worked for a few years, the fuel light randomly comes on and goes off during a ride no matter how much fuel it has. Does this sound like a faulty sensor too? Cheers.

@myturkishlife1777 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, yes it sounds like it's on its way out, maybe check the connector too.. Cheers

Hi MyTurkishLife, thanks for the video. Is this to cancel the reserve lamp forever? or light does it work when low on fuel with normality?

Thanks for sharing. I have a 16 year old Honda Phantom 200cc, it looks like my low fuel sensor has the same fault? I've ordered a Thermistor for it - hopefully when I fit it, it cures the problem? 👍

@myturkishlife1777 2 жыл бұрын

I hope it does for you.. these thermistors only have a certain lifespan being submerged in fuel.. cheers
