Ages ago the fuel sensor light stopped working on my bike. I still haven't got round to fixing it. Is it a case of lifting the tank and checking the wire hasn't come loose?
The RPM dial has also packed in. A month or so ago it started going berserk - i was going at a steady speed of 60mph when suddenly the needle started shooting up and down the dial as if it was possessed. It then stopped working completely. How do i go about fixing that? Cheers |

Is it a pointy or a curvy? On pointies the fuel light is an LED, so unlikely to be blown. On curvies I think it is a normal bulb, so, worth checking.

Its a curvy. I think i've had a quick look at the wiring under the tank before and it looked fine. Might be the bulb like you both mention.
