Hi,
I have a 1998 Honda VTR 1000 bike and the low fuel light does not come
on, although I know the light works. Does anyone know how the low fuel
sensor in the tank works ?( or in my case doesnt work)
Hi,
On most bikes, the fuel level sensor is inside the tank and basically is a dampened float. The entire assembly could be accessed beneath the tank and would be connected by a single connector with two terminals. This pair of wire would then go to the instrumentation/cluster to trigger the fuel level gauge or in your case low level sensor. Often the connector would become loose or the terminals corroded. The sensor inside the tank could be tested with a continuity tester (DVM/VOM)
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
Yes i bought another tail light and could not figure out whish wire went to what. After connected like when I bought the used bike whether a turn signal or brake like something always seems not to work. I have a 2002 honda vtr is there any way I could get the tail light wiring pattern or something. thanks

feul sensor does not work but feul light work if tested apart
I removed my tank to have it painted. After installing my tank with no fuel in it the fuel warning light did not come on. I checked continuity through the sensor and it has good continuity. I do have ignition voltage to the instrument cluster.
