Buddy Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Hi ladsi have a gsxr 1100 chassis etc that I'm building a bit of a bits a out of, bandit 12 engine loom etc to be fitted, I'm wondering if the 1100 tank with sender, will work on the 1200 loom for the fuel sender? Ie, did the 1100 have a gauge or a warning light? If it had a warning light only, wondering if I try to use 1200 wiring into it for the sender, will it read as normal gauge, or would it only show on gauge as 1/4 tank or so if the 1100 only had a warning light?

Gixer1460 Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Probably won't work at all! GSXR sensor only worked when uncovered / in air. I'm not sure how they function, if NO or NC but it certainly isn't a variable output that the Bandit gauge needs. 1 Quote
vizman Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 it will give a false reading [but more than likely no reading] unless the resistance is the same which its not. but you could wire in warning light. 1 Quote
Buddy Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 Cheers lads, I thought it would either be false. Or not work atall, thanks for replies, i just need to judge miles for fuel haha Quote
Captain Chaos Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 the switch in the tank is very easy to wire up, it only needs one wire to a light/led somewhere near the clocks, and a wire to earth. Another wire from ignition to the light/led and you're done. 1 Quote

Captain Chaos Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 at least that's how I think it is, got my EFE tank sender and fuel gauge working like that. Quote

Gixer1460 Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Why judge anything? Zero the trip meter - run bike to reserve - work out relative capacities of normal and reserve and you'll have potential range. Just zero trip every time you fill up and you cant go wrong. Never had a fuel gauge and never run out! Quote
