1198 Fuel Level Sensor

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by Swiss T, Oct 17, 2017.

  1. Hey fellas.

    I have fitted a larger capacity alloy tank to my 1198; its from the Corse bike, which I think is 2 litres or so larger than the standard plastic tank.
    The low fuel level sensor doesn't realise I have the extra capacity & so illuminates the low fuel warning light at the same point (miles covered) as it did with the plastic tank, even though I still have plenty of fuel left.
    I understand the sensor is a thermister.
    Is the Corse bike thermister the same part as the standard 1198s, or different?
    If its the same, can it be set at a different height to allow for the extra fuel?

    I keep a check on the miles covered anyway so its not a big deal, but I will be removing the fuel pump assembly soon to replace the filter & thought it worth correcting whilst in there.

    Thanks :)
     
  2. Would the Corse bike even have a fuel level warning light?
     
  3. Yes pal; Corse is just the colour & spec; it’s a road bike with one of the features being the larger tank.
     
  4. Oh right. I thought you actually meant an RS.
