i want to replace the water temp and the fuel gauges with a non-oem type .. has anyone done a retor-fit for the 93 k1100 rs?? i want a simple white dial with red/black pointer.. is this possible ??
the bigger issues is my fuel gauge has started acting wonky.. if the bike sits for 3 of more days the gauge becomes inaccurate and will not respond if i lean the bike over or go up hill or down hill the gauge stays static with less than 1/2 tank. when power is cut the gauge sometimes will fall off to empty immediately or will stay upright. when i return after like 3 hours the pointer has fallen off to empty and then respond to what ever is in the tank when power is applied ... if i fill up the gas tank the pointer will indicate full tank but once again is slow to respond to consumption.. usually after 100 miles of travel the pointer starts to drop off.. where do i start to trouble shoot this issue?? _________________ fix the problem not the blame ; fix what is messed up ; NO one is to blame. |

It's your fuel gage. If you turn the ignition on, the needle should either immediately drop, or if dampened should swing to 0. If it stays up it's a mechanical failure of the electrical gage. _________________ 2014 R1200RT Water Cooled
