Wanted: 900 fuel sender unit.

[paullewis]

As the title says! Anyone got a good fuel sender unit sat round gathering dust? Or suggest the best source of a replacement? I haven't checked the price from Yam yet...

I have thought that you could buy a similar sender from another yamaha bike, then graft on the specific to a D9 float, using a hacksaw and welder!

fazer 600 ones seem plentyfull and cheap!

£109.


So now you know why most D9's don't have working fuel gauges.

They are a better quality replacement though!

Isn't there a fix for them by repairing the float shaft pivot. Think it is on the dvds that Reaper did.

There is a few fixes,

if the fingers are ok, you can fit a pin that the sender pivots on, it is a temporary solution though.


Not sure why you would want to fix the gauge though, it only works for the bottom half of the tank, probably the worse designed gauge that you could get!

When I had my 900 off Markeith he mentioned that he had done the mod and it's been working ever since

I would want it to be gold plated and diamond encrusted for that. But that's just the Yorkshireman in me.
