N4cer 03-27-2002, 03:33 PM Can someone tell me if it's possible to run a new fuel indicator light, wiring from the wiring harness (the wires) to the gauges? If so, what wire is the one that I would use? Or how do I run a gas gauge? That's probably WAY too much trouble. I need to know how much fuel I have. The pelvic shake is too inaccurate! kidphc 03-28-2002, 07:35 AM Just my $.02. I use the first trip odometer for my gas estimate. I reset it at every fill up. I know at about 150-165 miles I will get the flashing light. At about 175-180 it will be a solid light. Easier then opening the can and shaking. Tapping the side of the gas tank is easy to figure out how much gas is left. N4cer 03-28-2002, 08:22 AM Good idea! If I can't get a light working, I'll do the same.

Even if I am good I only get about 130 miles... But now that I have a really lean map on my PCII I should be able to get more miles... lol John kidphc 03-28-2002, 10:55 AM Weird thing is I am not gentle on the bike. Even in slow traffic I ride around 6k rpms. This is so that when the cooling fan kicks in it doesn't kill the battery. More importantly, I ride with one guy on a Cbr1000. The thing pulls like a freight train. Even at high rpm's I need to kick it down twice to keep at the same level of acceleration. N4cer 03-28-2002, 11:46 PM Well, I guess no one has any ideas. I really figured that FREAK would have an answer, from all his posts I've seen on here! The wiring info would be really helpful. GSXR-Freak 03-29-2002, 09:31 AM Sorry kinda got off topic. Your bike should have a low fuel light on it... When you turn your bike on, In the top right hand corner of your gagues, there should be a yellow light there... Is there not one. John N4cer 03-29-2002, 10:21 AM There SHOULD be one. Unfortunately, the bike is a rebuilt wreck, and the top 2 lights on the gauges got broken and not fixed images/icons/rolleyes.gif (blinker indicator, and low fuel indicator). I don't wanna spend $200 on a set of used gauges. The circuit board where the bulbs would connect is cracked images/icons/frown.gif and I would really like to be able to just throw a LED in the holes to make it easy. GSXR-Freak 03-29-2002, 10:25 AM Well if you know or can find out, if the 00 600 cluster fits... I will sell you one... There are a few sratchs on the face but everything works... I think it might need a few bulbs too... we can work out a price if you want it... John N4cer 03-29-2002, 10:47 AM I've posted the question in the General Discussion forum. We'll see if anyone knows. I'll see if I can borrow a digital camera to take pics of the harness that plugs into my gauges and send them to you, to see if it's a match. Probably be a couple of days, though. GSXR-Freak 03-29-2002, 03:53 PM ok i dont think it will work... If I remember correct, the 600 speedo only runs up to like 175 or 180. This would meen that if it did work, you would have a speedo that is off... If you dont care, we can try it... images/icons/smile.gif John N4cer 03-29-2002, 08:54 PM If I'mma put a messed up speedo on, it'd better be AWFULLY cheap. I'd really like to figure out the wiring so that I can keep the original ODO on it, despite the 19k miles. Let's check the plugs. I'll get a pic tomorrow. Spike 03-29-2002, 11:35 PM You can add a low fuel light to your cluster. I'm scanning my cluster right now I'll post pics later tonight.

I would be willing to bet they will plug in... images/icons/smile.gif John N4cer 03-30-2002, 02:42 AM Tach reads up to 16k w/a 13.5 redline. Speedo reads 190 at the last mark. I touched 170 the first day, then got to a gas station, and had 15lbs. of pressure per tire! images/icons/shocked.gif N4cer 03-30-2002, 08:18 AM Spike, what's the wire(s) needed? Spike 03-30-2002, 12:07 PM http://www.spike.gixxer.com/images/cluster_low_fuel_small.jpg The arrows are points were you could get the low fuel signal from. I'm not sure if the signal is 12v or Gnd, but a check with a test light would let you know. I imagine that the person that rebuilt your bike didn't remove the sending unit from the tank or did he remove the wires from the harness. I don't have a wiring diagram for these bike's but if someone could e-mail me a hi-res one I would be very happy to put it up on my new site. That's goes from any wiring diagram, e-mail it to me and I'll put it up. [ 03-31-2002, 12:17 AM: Message edited by: Spike ] N4cer 03-30-2002, 06:16 PM Where's the pic? Try to e-mail it to me. I'll send you a copy of the wiring diagram, but it's not too good. Spike 03-31-2002, 02:17 AM I fixed it. | ||
