Thanks Ian,

Mechanic explained how the ECU may be corroded at my last service. He told me there's a hole in the undertray where it comes out of the mould, which is right beneath the ECU. A fair bit of road crap gets in there, causing corrosion which I can see by looking under the pillion seat.

On new bikes he always blocks that up with bath sealant, mine has a hugger but didn't have for the first 4 years of its life.

I've always found it hard to believe the ECU is causing the fule gauge problem so haev hung off coughing up for one but if the bikes going to start coughing and spluttering it's maybe time to take the plunge.

If it's not the ECU then there's always ebay....
