Re: Tiger fuel guage fault
Sounds to me like your fuel tank sender unit is starting to go.
Mine did the same last year and was replaced under warranty. Try removing the wiring plug from the tank and test with a voltmeter to see if there is a fault in the wiring, although if it is intermittent it may not show up unless the bike is moving.Andy.

Re: Tiger fuel guage fault
As all folk say on here, that's what the search facility on the forum is for!
I went into great detail on this last year, the sender unit is crap, long thin pcb with diodes, mine lasted 2yrs, got more intermttent as time went on. Good news is I got change from £50 for a new one. Easy enough job, tank doesn't need to come off, just lift the tank a bit at rear, bottom right hand side there's a bolted on panel with wires and a connector, disconnect and remove bolts, remember to do this once you've ran the petrol well down! New one bolts in, connect wires, problem solved. Mines been fine for almost two yrs now. I suppose I'll need a new one soon? LOL! Tiger fuel sender unit saga

Re: Tiger fuel guage fault
I bought a new and unused guage off eBay, fitted it and the problem has gone.
How do I test the other one to see if it was faulty? (If it was a loose connection I probably sorted it out inadvertedly when fitting the new one.)

Re: Tiger fuel guage fault
Bit late in replying to this thread, but my Tiger does this if I fill the tank to the brim. Doesn't do it any other time. The needle drops to zero and the light comes on, however it sorts itself out after a couple of minutes.
I know the handbook says not to overfill but when you're in the middle of nowhere I just squeeze in as much juice as I can. |
