AT tank on TA, low fuel sensor LED issue
 
Hi all,
It concerns the rebuild of my transalp so i guess i'm right here. :-)
I putted an Africa Twin RD04 tank on my PD06 Transalp. Now i've got a Koso dashboard which has LED sign lights on it. The problem is that the fuel sensors on the tank works with an NTC resistor. As they normally work with a light bulb on the original dash from the Africa twin. Which means depending on the current (full or empty)that flows through the ntc, the light bulb lights up or not. But now i've got a LED light. How can i make it to work?
I'm not the first one who puts an AT tank on an TA. So i guess there're more people around which had the same problem!
I hope someone can help me as it's urgent. I've got 2 more weeks before the bike gets shipped to Canada!
Hope someone can help me out!

Thanks!!
Bossit. :-)

I never rely on a fuel gauge, I alway reset my trip get in the habit,
Get to no your tank range as well, I use that info to log into my Garmin 660 so it tells me where I'm at with fuel very handy app,
I put in my tank range what I get per gallon it dose the rest

Add a high Amp resistor (ceramic) to the sensor to simulate the resistance of a normal light bulb.
Saludos y Buen viaje!

im confused...

First question is what are you picking up the low fluel level on... AT dont have a sender...
so you have to find out what you are using as a pick up.
find out what its out put is...
When i put a koso it had the resistors in the circuts so you should in theory not need one.. or have i missed the entire point... :ban:

He said it's a RD04 tank, that certainly comes with a fuel sensor....

Yup you are right.. i type corrected...

Low fuel sensor issue
 
Hey,
Isn't there anyone around who can advice me what to do with the low fuel sensor, or how to solve the problem?
There must be some guys around who rebuilded Transalps in the same wat i guess!
Hope to hear from one of you.

Cheers,
Bossit.
