what the hell is that?

 

Sorry about that post.
My red fuel low light is inop. How do I check it and find the problem?

 

It's an LED so it should have a nice long service life.

The most common reason is it's unplugged at the tank. Take your seat off and you'll see a large wiring harness junction between the battery and tank. It's a white 2 lead connector. This is normally disconnected to raise or take off the tank during any maintainence/work.

If it's the LED, you'll be taking the instruments apart. I assume the LED is removeable, never had to do it.

 

I have the same problem. In the Haynes manual there is a whole pile of instructions on how to trace out whats wrong including pulling out the sensor. Its on my "to do" list still.

I'll check for that lead Doug is talking about tonight, although I can't recall any lose ones.

 

I checked the connector under the seat.,It was ok. any other ideas?
Thanks

 

Even better Idea: Where can I download a service manual for a 98 Superhawk?

 

I think there's one on the OZfirestorm site but you'll have to do some digging until one of the Aussy's posts a link. Pretty sure its a big PDF dl

Thank you everyone. I downloaded the manual. It directed me to disconnect the fuel reserve sensor and short the connector terminals (at the frame, not to the tank). The LED came on so I have a bad fuel reserve sensor.
