    Check the wires leading to the sender itself.. Make sure you don't have a broken wire... Also,, try flipping the meter to a higher range, to see if you get a reading..

    Correct.. open circuit reads a 1.. Dead short (wires touching) reads 0.0 When you touch the wires to the sender, you're looking for readings around .7 K Ohms up to 1.10 K Ohms.

    That is correct.. Open Circuit Move it to the 20k setting.. If your meter is showing (1.---) then that's basically saying that there is no resistance, (open circuit). Here's a picture of the actual thermistor that is used in that test video. Note that I have my meter on the 20K setting and...

    Bolt caps for painting

    No Prob.. I was a bit anal :biglaugh: and cut each one as strait as possible, just to make sure each one completely covered the cap at its base. If you cut them on an angle, it will leave a little gap. Nothing that you can really see unless you're looking for it.. The REAL reason I did this...

    Bolt caps for painting

    Blue painters tape.. Can be easily cut into what ever shape you need, and can be picked up today at your local hardware store. Re-doing my rear caliper yesterday, and as you can see, its like that hot sauce,, I used that sh-t every where.. :rofl_200: To avoid getting paint on my cap...

    No problem. That's how we learn, by asking questions or trial and error.. Personally, I'd rather not have the trial and error while on the road.. :biglaugh: I'm going to assume you're using a digital volt/ohm meter. Set your volt meter to 20K Ohms Basically, (taking into account the .2k...

    This is from the online service manual. You'll need a multi-meter to check to see if its within range of the Vmax sender.

    Out of curiosity, I tried to cross reference your 2001 Yamaha YZFR1 fuel sender on Partzilla but the weird thing is, there is no part called a "Fuel Sender" for that year / model.

    just a suggestion. Before cutting anything, take a resistance reading of that sender. See if its within specs of the original. If its way off, you could be heading down the wrong path.. Take care.. PS.. your picture came out correct.. :-)

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    Just replaced the older brake fluid in the front.. It was a little brownish.. Now I'm waiting for some rear caliper piston seals.. While painting my extremely aged looking calipers the other day, I noticed that one piston was not moving freely. Then I noticed a tiny bit of rubber seal, peeking...

    I Never try to take photos or videos with the phone vertically. Never got in that practice and I don't like the black bars on the left and right hand side of an uploaded video for posting. Also, since most of my vids and pics are sent to my computer 1st, the PC's monitor is also horizontal, so...

    Got a call from the "IRS" today.

    If you would have played along with him, I'd bet that he'd offer to accept a payment by telling you to purchase a gift card for that amount,, then,, come back and read him the numbers off the card. That's one of the biggest scams out there.. They must get over on people quite a bit, I would...

    Installing stock exhaust

    OMG.. I hope not.. My original bolts broke off also - I ended up having to get replacement adapters,, they were that messed up... I put the replaced adapters in, with some black bolts from Lowes, but this time, I put Anti-Seize on them.. The heat burned off any coating the bolts had on them...

    I shared my $.02 because of experience with this very same issue. This is not from someone that is simply overly cautious. Went to work (only 7 miles to the office). I knew I still had 25 miles to go, since I was at 75 on the trip meter since last fill up. I did not pay attention that there...

    Just my $.02, Get a new fuel sender.. Why have the constant worry of running out of fuel and possibly not being warned about it. Sender and gasket at Partzilla.com. $66.00 is not that much for piece of mind.

    Good Non-OEM (Cheap) Starter Clutch?

    Picked this up from Ebay last year when I blew my loose starter clutch apart with a high rev. . Because the 3 bolts holding it in place where loose, (No locktite, nor were they peened at all), the starter clutch was giving me that "Box of Rocks" sound at startup. I left it for a while (my...
