The fuel gauge on my '94 RS was dampened but now it isn't - somethings broke inside.

Well now I feel like a right idiot. Taking the wiring apart this morning with some decent daylight so I can see what I'm doing, it turns out I had the wrong plug - the one I thought was the front sens ...

If it's failed and you are going to replace it, what does it matter if you have to force out the old one...... just sayin. The only caution would be to try and not damage the shims if possible.
...

Having put a meter on the sensors, the rear has continuity but the front doesn't. I assume that's indicative of a failed sensor. The sensor itself looks well corroded into the fork bracket so I doubt ...

Oh well back to the drawing board - thanks Inge.

I'll start on the sensors then.

Can it really be this simple?

Had some downtime today and the big GSA has been put back on the road so I thought I'd take a look at the problem and see if I could find the fault. Took the tank off ...

Thanks Tony. I haven't had an opportunity yet to take a look at the problem - just too cold in the garage! I don't see how this could be related but both heated grips have packed up at the same time ( ...

I know there's tonnes of info on this already here but I haven't found anything directly relating to my issue. Bike is a '94 K1100RS with ABS II. Its never been any trouble since I've owned it which i ...

Where abouts in the UK are you?

I have a Westco 12V20P which I fitted over 8 years ago now into the RS. It's just begining to show signs of needing replacement so I will get the same again. It's been 100% reliable never failing to s ...

The first time you move off after starting the bike, at about 3mph, the ABS does a system check and you should see the red warning lights stop at that point. The clicking is part of that check process ...

In the UK its not that common (unless you're city commuting) for the fan to come on unless its one of the two days a year above 25 degrees. I make sure I cycle the fan regularly to make sure its not s ...

I have an RS and have never ridden an LT so am not going to compare, but as far as the heat issue is concerned, here in the UK on an RS, I can say there's only a few days a year when its a bad thing. ...

Nice looking LT - welcome back!

I'm on my second set of EBC HH pads - still with the original rotors. The brakes on the K bike are now better than on the 1200GSA (Ferodo Platinum pads) - they really do haul the bike to a stop quickl ...

Don't forget there's a fuel sock fitted on the input side of the fuel pump. You have to take the pump out to get at it. Having just done that on my '94 RS I found that filter to be very dirty and coul ...

I have just replaced my fuel pump with a secondhand unit off Ebay for £10 which was a result. When I took the old one off I found the pre-pump filter (sock) was quite badly blocked and might have bee ...

This might be worth looking at if the obvious things to look at don't work out. I had similar issues with random operation of the indicators both ignition on and ignition off. It turned out to be a sh ...

One thing I found with resetting the ABS is that you do need a really good earth connection. I have screwed a piece of wire to the frame for just such a purpose and it just stays coiled up on the bike ...

You could put some tubing onto a syringe and poke that down the filler hole.
