Reply To: Fuel gauge – GV125
The GV sender tends to be a little optimistic sometimes , for example on my GTR it will say full then maybe 30 miles later it drops a bar.
If i am to assume i am riding super economically to get 200+ mile range MPG out of a full 17L tank. I expect 3 bars to drop from full if i use around 5L of it. I am not sure how many miles that is as its been a while since i paid attention to the odo counter lol.
The GV in this case will probably say full until its almost 3/4 left of it, then it should start to move down as the float lowers.
You can always test the fuel sensor like this:
- Full Tank = Ride 10 miles , and go home. Unhook the sensor cable. Test with your meter many OHMS you get from the SENSOR itself.
Report back here. - If you suspect the tank is half-full left
Test ohms of the sensor
Report back here.
Ie. Full was 400 ohms , almost low fuel left was 200 ohms etc… (Example here) these are not actual Hyosung figures. You will get that from your meter,
I will know if your sensor is working or your gauge is fishy or just a harness issue.
Have date with that pocket meter 🙂
