fuel reserve light and count down timer

[bikerjohn]

My light for Low fuel is not coming on and the F - count down is not working.

Any of the Guru's out there have an idea of where to start.

I had the right side lower cowling off a few weeks ago I know it worked before that. Could i have accidentally disconnected something???

 

 

Thanks

Dumb question... Is the fuel gauge working at all and are you really low on fuel?

If your fuel gage is working it is the thermistor in the tank, I think there is thread telling how to replace the thermistor without replacing the whole fuel sender.

thanks joe The gauge is working I will look at replace the thermistor.

Hey fool is that an easy replaced part? I dont see it on the diagram break down on parts shark

It is part of the fuel sending unit if you buy OEM, I am told the one below will work if you want to tackle just replacing the thermistor you can see it in this picture.

You should be getting a diagnostic signal from the bike to help diagnose this issue.

When you turn the key on, the segments on the fuel gauge will blink in certain patterns that are listed in the service manual , those patterns will tell you what part of the sensing system is bad.

I am not sure if I still have my Venture service manual or not, but I am pretty sure there is a link to a PDF copy here on the forum.
