nayruf Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hi this happened to my XJ 900 also, I found out that the float switch/sender in the tank had become worn on its spindle, this made the float contact point miss its pick up preventing the sender/switch from giving a reading. I had to buy a new sender unit and this fixed the fault, the Yamaha shop told me that this was not an uncommon problem, You could prove that the sender has stopped working by making a connection between the feed wire and the return wire to the sender, if the rest of the system is working correctly then the gauge should read full, hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
