It has a different one fitted than standard, yellow I think, but that was before I fitted the Techlusion, removed the lambda under the tank and recently fitted the sprockets. On Saturday I went out for a run of mixed riding, some fast but a lot of steady stuff, and the fuel light came on at 113 from a brimmed tank. :?
Mine had the yellow fitted with the CCP out and lambda connected it was awfull fuel igniting in pipes tick over all over the place and sounding like a box of spanners
That was with my touring head on keep it below 6000 rpm but as i have said in the past the best i have ever seen was 120 till light on steady and that was running in below 4000

But has the fitting of the gs torque arm lifted the back of the tank causing the light to come on later??? it seems to be running fine showing no sign of running week infact when first started it smells rich but smells fine after a motorway run

Hadn't considered the ride height issue affecting fuel in the tank :shock: That said, I also have a GS arm and a Wilbers on the rear with the ride height jacked up to the max, so its pretty tall.

It's quite possibly a one off fluke but i hape not
However i still can't understand why it ran so bad with the CCP out and lambda connected

Also i am keeping the steptoe bridge in mind and am carrying a piece of wire with a spade on either end


EDIT the only reason i can see why it was using so much fuel, on the closed loop it was so lean it was having to fuel far richer to get it onto open loop hence the puff of black smoke that i have been told about on more than one occasion, what i think i have done is taken the closed loop part out of the equasion so it now runs on the throttle at all times
