That makes sense. But here is a novel idea... Since the light isnt lit when the small amount of current is flowing and it has a resistance of 8 ohms then an 8 ohm resistors should do the trick What I am going to do is get a potentiometer and slowly dial down the resistance until I see the fuel...

Dave, Vmax626, and I just put some 42.5s in his bike. He said it completely got rid of his lean popping on decel. I am going to put some in my bike over the weekend and see how it goes.

Dave, Vmax626, came over and we had a mini carb rebuild day for his bike. Found a couple of things wrong with his carbs, nothing major. Changed out his pilots to 42.5s plus he had the wrong style jets in the first place Replaced all his mains with 162.5s Reset all his floats, they were all a...

After doing some calculation I see where you came up with the 50 ohm resistor. 12vdc system with a 3 watt bulb will draw .25 amps of current and 48 ohms total resistance. When you measure the resistance of the bulb it comes out at 8 ohms Why the difference??? I think the one BIG thing we are...

Good to hear

Will Do. Wont be for awhile though, just put everything together and dont want to take it apart.

Same size wire that the OEM gauges come with. I think it is 18 or 16 gauge wire Plus I tested the resistance before and after the install of the resistor and it came out as expected. I think because the 50 ohm is still too much resistance.

Well another set back The 50 ohm resistor did not do the trick to allow enough current for the relay to keep the fuel pump on. Will have to try a lower one. Think I will try an 8 ohm resistor just like the original bulb

Yeah, R&D is never simple. Then again I am a rookie at electronics so I am making some rookie mistakes. At least I am learning all the tricks so if anyone else does this they can learn from my mistakes :clapping:

Update Ok if you guys are going to use a 3 terminal sender, Pos, Neg, Send you are going to have to wire your power supply and negatives for the gauge and the sender to the same spots. In other words I used an add a fuse and spliced in 2 wires, one going to the sender and one going to the...

5.5 Heck we have those for breakfast around here :biglaugh::eusa_dance:

Sweet :biglaugh:

Lock Tight that sumabitch in there :biglaugh:

I will plead the 5th on that one

Yes and get rid of the 11.5 and go back to stock 13 You can set more preload and help with the under spung. And have more travel to absorb a bit more on the bumbs I ride 2 up with my girl all the time and the 440s, in her own words, worth every penny from the 412s I am 240, she is 120, so...

Yes, maybe the washer swap but half the time you dont have to

Why the hell would you think that???? I am working next weekend, but it is night shift so I can make some time to meet up and go for a ride, as long as you are not checking out my butt :rofl_200:

Hey its my birthday too. I just turned 40 and still going strong :happybday::th_image003::th_SmileyBoobs::th_biggun::th_11::th_drink:

Finally proposed to my girl friend of two years. It was at the Charity Event for her son. She had no idea it was coming Wedding is in Aug. Doing it when my kids are out for the summer. We are keeping it low key, just a few friends and family. Times are tough. Will post up some pics from...

Just measure the resistance of the fan and divide it into the voltage that will tell you the amperage
