Fuel Sensor

Hi
I have a curvy sk1 and origonally the fuel light blinked slowly (about indicator speed) when i was running low and went solid when i was nearly out, recently it blinked at double speed for no reason when the petrol was low and then eventually stopped working all together.
Does this hint towards a dodgy fuel sensor or is there a relay for the flash (if theres even meant to b a flash as i dont think my mates pointy has 2 types of fuel light!) The light itself still works when u turn the ignition on and the lights test comes on the dash, so theres obviously power and a good bulb its just a case of how its connected and if theres a relay in between!!!!
any advice or anyone else whos had this problem wud b muchly appreciated!!!

Also, i know most people will say whats the point... but i like to do pointles things to stuff.. ok? --> anyway, is it possible to fit an actual fuel gauge to a bike that does not come with one standard (sv650sk1) like is there any kits u can get to install a sensor into the tank etc or am i jus dreamin of a silly project here?? :P

Thanks for any help guys!

take sensor out and check if it broke off, common issue.

maybe u should buy a new bike mate

Shut up pointyboy :P

Thanks mate 15 min job. Top sensor was floatin on it's wire, literally clicks it back into place and resoldered it in, works perfectly

Anyone got any ideas about the fuel guage outa curiosity???

So is the fuel warning light not meant to flash on a pointy? Mine does this, always assumed it was meant to...

No idea about the fuel gauge sorry - can see why you'd want one though I've just made the switch from car to bike and when commuting its definitely a pain in the ass not knowing roughly how much fuel is in there. Maybe that comes with experience.
