Check the resister element for any damage where the slider contacts it, mine was worn.

Thanks for the adviceTo clean that out just use a carb cleaner formulated for removing fuel residue. Anything else may damage the plastic.
Yeah, that was me when I first got to work on the bike (before the French trip I had to replace the oil pressure switch & ended up starting this odyssey) and found the fuel injection connector was damaged.Well you now know you are not the first to go into that tank. You have the all metal KL145 filter fitted. But at least that person used decent pipe clips.
Yes, I wonder if it was standing for any time. Good point about the drainer - I’ll see if I can run a wire through it.Going by the corrosion there has been water in the bottom of that tank for some time. Check the drain from the fuel filler isn't blocked while you have the tank off.
The resister element? Not sure where / what that is. Do you mean the grey top of the gauge with the 2 contacts sticking out, or the two sliders on the top of the float?Check the resister element for any damage where the slider contacts it, mine was worn.
So that'll be this:I think its what you call "the contact plate". as the float falls, contacts on the float that touch the resister will send that varying resistance info to the ECU which in turn alters the fuel gauge. A while ago Im sure I posted the resistance value between empty and full.
Yeah - that search got me 5 threads, 3 of which were started by me (includes this one) and 2 of which turned out not to be relevant
Still, a good reminder that I should search before asking questions, thanks.
Brilliant. I have some 1200 sandpaper that I'm just going to lightly rub them down with - careful inspection today shows them not to be perfect but certainly not badly scored. A light rub should do them the world of good ... as it does for so many thingsyep , thats it
Rear linkage, I did mine alone. Biggest problem was getting the bolts out of the needle bearings, they had rusted in. Bearings were fine. You will need a C spanner to undo the swinging arm pivot.
I’d buy that instantly because it looks like a really well made piece & I like having the right tools, except the shipping from the US is slightly more than the part costsActually you need the correct socket for assembly to properly torque for bearing load. The same socket can be used for disassembly. https://gtmotocycles.com/collections/other/products/cnc-carc-tool
