GSXR 1000 fuel gauge not working
Nick_TitanMsport - 1/6/14 at 05:44 PM

Hi All.

Pretty much brand new to this. (Had an MK Indy r 3 weeks)

So the fuel Guage isn't showing anything. The engine is a K3 I believe and the new fuel pump is from a later model. All the wires are secure etc but still nothing.

Could this be due to not having a k3 pump to match the engine?

Thanks in advance.

Nick.

K13JOB - great post count average!

Nice one Angus.


Nick, Are you using a K3 bike clocks?

Are you sure that the pump still has the fuel level sender attached?

Couldn't say for sure there are 4 wires from the bottom of the pump connected to the car. It's using the original clocks I believe as supplied to the chap who built it by Yorkshire engines.

Is there an in tank float jobby that could be stuck?

Cheers.

I could be wrong - but I thought the GSXR1000 only has a low fuel level light not a contents gauge.

Ahhh I see if this is the case that would be a simple explanation. Il have a dig about and see what I can find... If any one knows this for sure please let me know

Cheers

I should of searched this on google bikes rarely have fuel gauges :-/

it will only have a low fuel light unless a separate float and gauge has been installed. I just fill up whenever I can, I haven't seen the light come on yet!

did you buy Ben's yellow indy?

gsxr1000 pumps include a couple of thermistors (temperature sensors) that are used to detect when the fuel level is low.

I know this sounds unlikely. I don't know how the ECU uses the information from the sensors.

Hi Guys.

thanks for the reply.

Sloan yes we certainly did do you know the car.

cheers.
