rev counter and fuel light issue

right the speedo drive has randomly started dying and flickering as i go along, also, the fuel light keeps coming on intermitantly but i just filled up, been doing it since this morning..

any ideas??

Sounds like a dodgy earth to me. Can't really give any pointers on the curvy unfortunately.

Check the main engine earth & battery terminals for a start. Someone will be along shortly with better knowledge of the curvy electronics.

not had chance to have a look at it today, i assume its electrical just wondering if anyone has had this happen before?? and would you say the problems are connected

if it does the speedo thing and you start to lose power I'd guess regrec. My speedo went mental in days leading up to it's death then it started cutting out along with it....then it was unrideable. symptoms were similar to a bad earth. possibly worth checking your battery with a multimeter.

speedo is fine, runs fine just fuel light randoms flashes on occasions and rev counter looks like its jumping on a spring

will have the front end of at the weekend and have a look at the wires going to the clocks,, if no joy then will have to dig deeper... still intend to ride it until then

ah it was both the speedo and rev counter on mine IIRC

I know nothing about a lot of things. HOWEVER, on my Thundercat a rev counter is used as a fault code indicator and bounces to and sticks at 3k or 7k to illustrate a problem.

Is your rev counter just dying or does it go to a certain rev then works then back to a certain rev?

E.g. It the Thundercat would shoot to 3k (or 7k can't remember) to indicate a problem with the fuel sensor wiring

You reckon they'd do something as clever as that on an sv?

nothing like that,, sitting at 9k revs down the a6 just seems to die then pick up again, sometimes went all the way down for ages then shot back up, sometimes got half way aqnd shot back up

was going to say... far far to ingenius for suzuki
