Installing a LEd fuel guage on the wife's nightster. Got the sending unit in the tank, the LEd on the brake res. Next it says to find the fuel sender resistor connector 200B, located between the oil tank and the frame near seat pan. I looked - seat pan has several connections - not one simmilar to the harness on the LEd. Tried following the wire out of the bottom of the tank. They go to a multiconnection and look like they head to the top of the cylinder. There is no gap between the frame and the oil tank. Does anyone know were to find 200A/200B connection on an 08 nightster?

 

Acording to my shop electrical diagnostic manual, the wire you are looking for is yellow with white stripe... connector 200a/b is a black Molex 3 wire connector located under the seat. It contains- yellow/white, yellow/red, black wires. the wire connector actually connects to the fuel sender resistor assy. 200a is the resistor, and 200b is the wire harness.

hope this helps you. If you right click and print the photos, you can see it more clearly. The Fuel sender resistor is at the top of the page if you hold it landscape.

Welcome to the forum! If you have any more questions, there are alot of helpful people on this site.

All we ask is that you post pics when you get it installed.

Which fuel guage did you get?

 

Get some pics up when you are finished. Curious to see it installed.

 

When your done and have used it on a couple of rides write a review on it. I am cosidering putting one on my 08 N but it is a little pricey. Also I would like to know if it is accurate and basiclly worth it. Let us know how you do.PERK

 

Yes, let us know how you like it. I like the idea of having a fuel gauge since there's no reserve on the fuel injected bikes.

 

I am now very curious on how that will work.. After studying the wiring diagram I see that the sending unit - if you will - consists of an on/off switch (Simular to a sump pump) rather than a variable resistor. It is either on or off and will only indicate if the fuel is below a certain level. Is there a varible resistance sending unit in the kit that replaces the float switch?

 

Inside the tank there is a plastic float ie. a switch which turns on/off the light. The new unit is a white plastic ruler with copper strips horizontally along it. Plugs directly into the old wire harness.

 

Thanks for all your HELP! The resistor was located on the driver's side under the frame and on top of the oil tank. Not on the oil res. fill side. GG

Any update on this? Pics or Review?

Thanks;

Should have the bike out in the next couple of weeks, will check the accurace and will wright a review with pics. THXS GG
