I need help

10-28-2010, 03:56 PM

first, this is jeffmc and I come humblling crawling back. Hope I am still welcomed.

I changed the battery about a week ago to one of those gel ones. Not a big deal but a tad cumbersome on moving the wiring to get the old out. Got it back in and everything has been working.

I went and just fueled up and the gas gauge is showing one bar still. Thoughts? Called dealer and he said it sounds like a stuck float. I just want to make sure it isnt a stuck Jeff. Should I disconnect battery again just to see if it resets.

Thank you to all here as I dearly missed you.

Oh, and BD, thanks for the pics you texted me while I was gone. But I keep telling you, I dont work for the New York Jets. :)

Welcome back Jeffmc. Stuck float??? Try sloshing the tank back and forth. I had that happen on one bike. A harsh mix job and it came back. I don't think that it would be any connection or wiring.

took seat off and the 3 plug connector on the bar above battery had come loose. Guess I was blind and didnt see my display lights not coming on but since the mileage was showing it didnt cross my mind. Dang, guess I didnt need to re-register.

Again, hope all of you are well.

BD, I still think it would help if you shaved your thighs. Even if, it requires a reciprocating saw.

Welcome back, some of those plugs are a little awkward to get at, and easy to not connect properly. Seems like you got it sorted out pretty quick.

waterman · 10-28-2010, 05:17 PM

Didn't think about connectors around the battery. Glad it worked out and you found the problem.

**Top Cat** · 10-28-2010, 06:37 PM

So, why did you leave in the first place. BD piss you off? ???

Welcome back Jeff!

Brad, is there something we should know? :)

Welcome back Jeff and glad you found the connector was the problem. Why the name change or was it something you had to do when you came back?
