Troubleshooting Fuel Light?
Herro
So today I remembered my fuel light didnt work as my bike started coughing on the motorway (during an overtake no less!) Managed to get past and onto hard shoulder safely luckily enough. Went for hazards and realised I dont have any  There was no light at all, solid or flashing. Hoping its just something that has become disconnected/loose. Where would be the best place to start looking? |

Re: Troubleshooting Fuel Light
Bulb, wiring, sensor, in that order.

I don't think you should fix it, mine doesn't work either. We could make a game out of it when we're in Scotland

Are the bulbs easy to get hold of, i.e something halfords would stuck? Quote:

 Had to scrub in the new rear properly and all that. Was quite surprised to see my chicken strips are non-existent on both sides already! Bloody hooligan.
