Fuel level

[steven michaeli]

Bon Jour Ya'll, 

My fuel level warning lights aren't working correctly on my 2006. Is there a way to fix this? I'm guessing it's bad thermistors. Can they be replaced? Can't afford a new fuel pump assembly.

Can't answer that but in the interim go by your mileage since your last fill and figure using your usual mpg..that might warrant a thanks Captain Obvious but it's the best I can come up with.

I think the fuel level thing is the same in a bunch of different
Suzukis, compare part numbers on the fiches.

Also, a used fuel pump from eBay is probably the cheap way to get a
replacement fuel sender.

It's been a while, but it's nice to see familiar names pop up here from my early SV days.  Still have my Blue 05.  Later acquired a 98 Honda Magna and manage fuel level as Don described.  I know how many mile per tankful based on how I am riding that day, but it does have a petcock that allows me to switch to reserve when I'm not paying attention to the odometer.

Just a thought re: Will's question - is there a relay that manages that fuel level circuit?  Just wondering if there is another source to that issue.  My memory is fading and I feel like I'm starting all over whenever I am repairing 'Ol Blue.  Fortunately, it's holding strong and have little to maintain other than oil, fuel, and tires.

how many miles have you put on Ol Blue?

I'm sorry, Don, but I did not see your post months ago.  My apologies, fellow SV'er.

I now have a little over 50k miles.  I know many of you here have done much more.  It was my daily rider (as well as 98 Honda Magna) until a recent retirement from the office.  I am looking forward to continue as much as I am able, but have to admit it's getting more challenging to put in the miles (both schedule-wise and body-wise).  It's all good and I still feel 'one' with Blue we get out on the road.  That's got to count for something.
