I'm sure I've seen a post re this but can I find it? So I hope some good person can help. What should be the resistance shown by the fule level sensor at full and empty? I think mine has gone west - it shows 83 ohms with the tank around 2/3 full. The gauge shows just over empty and the light comes on intermittently. I've checked all the connectors and there's no corrosion or looseness.

Any help gratefully received....

About 93 ohms empty 13 ohms full assuming it is the same as my RS. My RS fuel light was on all the time so I set up a rheostat to check the wiring on the bike. The sending unit was stuck at 93 ohms. I pulled the unit out of the tank and it seemed to check fine. I checked that the float actually floated in gas. I put it back together and it is fine.
