Randomly found this product and your RU-vid today when looking for a fuel gauge for my 19 Tuono that doesn't come with a fuel gauge even though it has every other electronic aid under the sun on it. I noticed the PA plates; I'm exactly an hour away from Erie, PA, right off the lake in Ohio. Maybe you're near me, and I could catch up with you sometime, as I'm also thinking about starting a motorcycle channel! I have every bit of camera gear you could imagine from getting into car photography, but I have never tried video. Hell, I even bought a Mavic 3 classic to get high-quality drone footage and still haven't learned how to use it, lol. Sorry for the ramble, but you definitely got a new follower here, and I hope to see you grow!
forgot to mention, I heard you talking about needing a lift. If you haven't bought one yet, Harbor Freight is running a sale on theirs until 2/1, where it's 100 bucks off if you're an insider member, which is only 29 bucks for a year. I plan on getting one tomorrow, as I'm tired of working on my bikes (I have 7, and my wife wants to murder me) while they are on the ground, haha. I'm turning 33 soon and starting to eat my words of not seeing the point of raising a bike off the ground a couple feet to work on it lmao.
Yoo! Thanks for the comments. Think I’m a little far from Erie but hey you never know. I did end up finding a lift. I would say if you’re considering starting a channel just go for it! It’s even better that you have good camera gear, I just have one GoPro 😂
I think I may have to recalibrate mine again, does this thing where it just walks back to full reading all the time. I’m sure once I get it it will be good though
@@cce7087 sadly it wasn't really a positive experience, the unit is frustrating to program, and if you have a tank that wraps around the frame like my DR, you need a second petcock installed to get an accurate pressure reading. I found that the gauge fluctuated wildly if your incline changed at all. Last I knew the company isn't even making them anymore. A neat idea but flawed execution.
I have a fuel pump as well. You will probably have to do some custom work like I did, but I’m pretty sure if you plumb the gauge in before the pump you should be alright
Oh the magnet does not get “installed” the magnet is used to calibrate the gauge. So you hold the magnet close to it to get it into certain modes. Kinda like magic 😂
@@ddubsgarage8285 I guess you pull the pressure sensor (membrane) to zero position with the magnet. At the same time, other magnetic influences may cause the calibration go off… I would check the position of the gauge again…
I still need to recalibrate it again, because the readout will drop but then it walks back up to the top which doesn’t make much sense if you ask me. The wires are long enough from the kit, you just trim them down or zip tie them up out of the way. It is a good idea to have some electrical terminals and some soldering tools to do a nice job though
