    Fuel gauge again

    If it turns out to be a fault in the gauge at clocks is it easy to change just the gauge.Local breaker has 1 from 850 g not sure what year.

    The gauge is usually pretty easy to replace alone once you get the center gauge cluster apart. That's the only "hard" part. Takes me about 5 minutes to get the gauge housing apart. After that, it's like 2 screws to remove the fuel gauge.

    Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.

      If yours looks like this, yes it's pretty easy. Pull back off and dive in.

          I doubt there is anything wrong on the harness side. Those connectors take a lot of heat and may need a real good cleanup to get a good read. I have had mine go bad twice and both times the wire going to the sending unit in the tank needed to be re-soldered. They like to break from vibration.
