Regardless of how filled up the tank is, it keeps blinking empty on the display monitor. Tried to trouble shoot the cables connected to the tank but no success. Any ideas??
It sounds like the wires are pulled out of the connector. In this electrical section is a sticky for places to order parts and in the tech section a how to troubleshoot and repair. Its very likely you both need some short sections of wire and proper crimp connectors. Take a look here.
FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP, AND FUEL GAUGE
The black wires are common ground to both the pump motor and fuel gauge. They should measure as a short or Zero ohms between them (see white and green connectors). Look at that thread, post up if ya need a hand.
I have the same Problem... First sorry for my excellent english
I try to do the same like Brandob1987 in

I Controlled the red wire on the green connector, but i cant find a defect. Is it possible to disassemble this connector and check out the contact?
Then i measure the recistant on the pin White connector/ green wire to Black directly under the Tank, with the result of extremly higher than 150 Ohm. Normaly, when the float Arm has en defect and remain on a Minimum, the recistance Must be 139 -149 Ohm, Right?

Fuel sender resistance (full)
19–21 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
Fuel sender resistance (empty)
139–141 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
So, if the tank is near level and you guessed on the fuel it should register between 20 & 140 Ω. Example: with a 1/2 tank ~~ 60 ohms....
Touch your test leads together and SUBTRACT the value of the shorted leads. Most would read less than 1.0 Ohm. But if yours reads 8 ohms while your meters test leads are shorted, you subtract that from the measured value.
149 - 8 = 141 ohms which would be normal.
Look at this: RED is for PUMP - NOT Fuel meter...
If you need to test the Bikes harness, grab a couple of RESISTORS like in this thread. FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP, AND FUEL GAUGE Post #2
Has the floatet an defect?
Probably NOT your issue however, the float itself, on rare occassions, has come off of the float arm. Obviously, if it does, the arm falls to the bottom and will always give you an empty reading.
Pulling the tank and flipping it over to see if the float is actually on the arm would eliminate this possibilty..
Good luck..
Thank you for your Support.
I removed the fuel sensor from the Tank and saw that the board has a defect. I replace the complete fuel Sensor by a new. Thats it.
I think it is because of the long standstill in Winter but just a guess from me.
Tank you.:cheer:
Great sticky.
My harness and connector are all working perfectly. I input a variable resistor and tracked the fuel level on the display. I then checked the resistance from the Male pins on the tank and measured 7.3K Ohms!! So im fairly certain it is the variable arm sensor is shot/stuck or out of place within the tank. Befor I take out the fuel pump, Can the sensor be replaced or is the whole pump mechanism need replacing. Or is there a way to manipulate the arm through the filler cap?
Thanks
