r1 fuel light flashing and 8k bounce
ch1ll1 - 13/4/08 at 08:27 PM

hi all ,
has anybody found a good way to get round the fuel light and the 8k rpm bounce? ( on a 4xv r1 )

looked on here tried shorting the fuel sender, fitting a resister, and using my fuel sender in the tank,
just the same,
also tried a spare ecu,

any ideas?
cheers Paul

I thought you got the 8k bounce from lack of exup?
Have you wired the fuel light up to the pump?
The pump has a connection for the level warning.
Maybe you are getting the warning because it is disconnected?

I have a 5VY, so it may be different. but when i ground the fuel level warning signal through a 750 Ohm resistor the light goes out.

The light doesn't go straight out... its like it has a cycle of flashes, then once its done the cycle it goes out.

im using an r1 loom,
using r1 pump,
exup is 7500, fuel sender is 8000

the bike is carb not injection

I used a 10k resistor on my 5JJ as it was all I had kicking around and it worked a treat!

I Just wired them straight together and it was fine. although the fuel light was on all the time. Nothing that a piece f black insulation tape wont cure.

Mine was 4xv using R1 loom and R1 clocks too.

Give it a try.

still flashers and 8k bounce.
even fitted r1 fuel sender, still same,

any ideas?
