Fuel Gauge flashing problem on R15 V1
Hello fellow biker brethren,
My R15 V1 2008 model, seems to have developed some sort of glitch, the Fuel gauge display seems to flash on & off and every time it flashes, it shows me all bars [ indicating a tank full] , though there isnt that much fuel and then when it disappears, no display on the fuel gauge at all.
However, the Odo & the digital speedometer are not affected by this problem.
This problem has been occurring for almost 2 weeks now & when I asked around at the SVC they informed me that this was due to a faulty fuel pump, which is responsible for the erroneous readings and this must be replaced. I visited another Yamaha SVC and they werent sure of the problem at first , but when I Informed my experience with the other SVC, funnily enough, they agreed with the former's views.
Estimated Damage = 7000 K plus labour and this isnt covered by insurance [ or so they informed me]. I'm a bit unsure of whether this actually is the problem and whether there is a work around to this problem
Has anyone else faced this problem and if yes, how did you fix it ?
Cheers
Saaki
