Re: Marks bike - reserve not working?
Thanks EC if fiddling doesn't fix it that's what I will have to do! Is 130 a safe range? I'm so used to putting a rennet in or what ever I got in my pocket which is never very much lol

Re: Marks bike - reserve not working?
when my sender was US i reckoned on about 180Km (112m) just guess work
once i'd fixed it i was getting about 220Km (135m ish) from a full tank to reserve
so i'd go for about 120 miles or just under
best to ride the last few miles to the garage and not have to push it

Re: Marks bike - reserve not working?
Cheers mr dog!! I put my old cdi back on this afternoon and guess what? My reserve is working again!! Having your cdi doctored seems to take your reserve facility out and just gives.you a full tank! You do loose a lot of wires when it's doctored!

Re: Marks bike - reserve not working?
The reserve "indication" must use the same circuit as the restriction then.
If you use a 1WG cdi you could look for the Genesis or SP cdi's both of them are before the restriction and the Genesis doesn't have an EXUP
If it's a 3TJ then the 4DX

Re: Marks bike - reserve not working?
i suspect most peeps with a bendy3 cdi unit use em for racing where the amount of fuel is generally measure in per race to save weight so the fuel sensor system is excess baggage
