Hawk gas gauge not working.
And yes I did try to search the forums first and it said the word gas is either too short or too long so it brought a bunch of threads about gauge clusters.
I hadn't really noticed before today but I've got the tank about half full and the gauge hasn't budged off the E. Just wondering if this is a common thing or maybe a wire is bad etc. I'm not even really that worried about it because most bikes don't have them, but.. |

Pull the tank and check the wire and connector for breaks or bad connections. I recently had to solder the connection on the sending unit. It's just crimped on there and the slightest bit of corrosion will make it not work.
Here a thread that someone else posted and where I got the info from to fix mine. http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...t=sending+unit

I remember humanbeing saying the float would putout O - 100 Ohm's empty to full on the tank sensor's output. Check that with a multimeter !

and it has metal ear on each side that the arm stops on that you can bend till you get the correct readings. i remember 10-90 but either would probably be close enough.

Is it normal for the gauge to bounce around like crazy while riding?

Ya, especially if your tank is half full. I thought about adding a 5k Ohm resister to slow the effect. I could use a Radio Shack now.

I pulled my sending unit apart and took the slop out of the arm that caused a connection break in the pontentiometer arm. Works perfectly and reliably now. http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=23159
