12 year warranty in fuel strips?

[autogs]

My one started playing up yesterday, the bikes only done 7,500 miles (2012 GSA). Showing 78 mile range after filling the tank to the brim. It's still under warrantee, but I don't know if I can be arsed to take it in if it's only going to shortly break again. I always use the trip meter for judging fuel stops.

but you havnt got a fuel strip type guage,in your bike is the much more reliable float system

If it's a 2012 bike, it doesn't have a fuel strip. They changed to a conventional float arrangement a year or two before that...

Maybe your float is coming out in sympathy for all our faulty strips?

Oops! I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up. Yesterday after filling it up with £30 of Shell's finest it still only showed a range of 78 miles even after several miles, so something has gone a bit screwy.

Does anybody know the fuel strip output values on a full tank?
Disconnect the biatch and put a resistor (or whatever) in line to force the ECU to show a full tank.

I waded through the ADV Rider thread and yes it can be spoofed with resistors and it's even easier to zap with a piezo gas lighter.

I can't help wondering if the strip conductors fail where they exit the top mounting.

Mine works fine when I put it in the right way up. Well give or take 60 miles or so but it is good when it gets to the low tank it about right within a litre or so. I wish my rear drive had a 12 year warranty
