need 636 color of wires!

 

I tried to do it too, with like no gas I used a test lamp to figure which wires had power, then filled up and did it again, thinking 1 less wire would have power, but no, gave up and got a mountain bike speedo.

 

i just use gauges zip tied to the right side of the airbox

 

Don't forget that LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. The light it only flows one way, so make sure you ground the correct side of the LED, otherwise it won't light up.

 

i thought the f4i sender used resistance to trigger the light / gauge thing in the cluster .... not voltage .

 

look in the other thread - i posted a link to download the manual which has a wiring diagram

 

Well I just checked the manual and the res sens for the fuel is the brown/black wire. the FI light is the White/Blue wire. When I attempted this it didnt work and then MikeM asked me if I tried swapping the wires - maybe I had the ground/power wires backwards So I tried it again and again - nothing lol. Hopefully Lee Majors will post up what he did that worked and then I'll give it a shot again

 

LOL - just saw your post after typin mine but yeah I swapped wires to make sure I had the ground/power wires right but still got nothing

I have no idea what the **** you just said lol. How can we get the light to work based on whatever it is that youre talkin about

 

back when cj was still riding with us , me and him spend almost a week trying to figure out how to do this . if u take apart the sensor in the tank , its a resistor that sends a different resistance in ohms to the gauge cluster when there is no fuel touching it . good luck cause i gave the hell up !

 

with all that work i'll probably just keep filling up every time i stop somewhere lol. from what lee majors posted up - it was as simple as tappin into the res sens wire where the gauges would plug in but it never worked for me and he posted up that his light stopped working for him too it would be very nice though to have a gas light

 

the mountain bike speedo works good, keeps track of miles, so once you got like 50 miles know its time to gas up

 

I think I'll probably go that route then eventually. Seems pretty easy. How hard was it to hook up to get it to read miles?

 

that always loooks like garbage, especially witht the f4i gauges, my 636 cant do that cuz u dont see the airbox

i saw it down loaded it and printed it off, figured it be nice to have sitting in the tool box, but it turned out to be 600 pages my boss is pissed i used all the printers paper and ink

is there something that u put on the tire or something that keeps track of the miles? or what that would be the only way to register it by how many/fast times it spins.

but there has to be a way to do this i know it, there has to some kinda gauge u can wire up or a way to tap into this line. someone is gonna get rich of they come up with one if they already dont, hell i dont need an lcd i will be satisfied with like 4 lights or something; oil presser light, gas light, temp, and fi light...

 

you just jb weld a magnet to the sprocket, then mount a sensor on the swing arm(f4is has a perfect spot too, bolt where the chain gaurd goes. heres what I got

it looses me on the measering wheel etc, explain what all u had to do tanus where u mounted it and pics

 

I got the LED to light up but it just stayed on after i started the engine Also, there is no black/brown wire (for the low fuel) on the wireharness that connects to the gauge. A lil help Lee Majors.

 

on an f4i i definitely had a br/bl wire

 

Yeah for an F4i. I swear i didn't see a brown/black wire. Let me check again..but I tried all the wires and only got the white/blue to light up

 

I just ride a sport bike, you know, the thing with clip-ons, with a fairing stay, and a place for gauges in a OEM location

 

I know many bikes require a resistor inline to make them work

My old fzr600 required one when using a yzf600 tank
