No, CANbus is not involved with the low fuel warning system. But the LFW is much more elaborate than something as simple as a switch or float or anything else. I do not know where in the bike the circuitry is buiried that handles the LFW but I would suspect either in the circuits potted in with the ECU or else in the LCD display. Either way, I have not found it 'cause I have not <yet> let the smoke out of it. I have let the smoke out of a bunch of fuel pumps though.
Nothing really wrong with the bike as it comes stock, I just found I did not care for the 'fuss' when the low fuel warning comes on, and I especially did not care for the loss of the range function. To be absolutely honest, I probably would not have bothered to tinker around with this thing at all if they had not given me any range indicator but the fact that they put it in the bike and disabled it at the very time when I want to see it annoyed me.

I do not know if it will work on a ZX or not. I would have to see a schematic and see a ZX 'in the flesh' so to speak before I could address the question. My gut instinct is that it will work but I am not willing to send one out for testing or use without knowing that it will work correctly.
Anybody got a ZX 14 around southern New England who wants the pain and the glory of being the first kid on his / her block to test- wear a Low fuel warning eliminator.... maybe? You will get the glory right here on the pages of this forum, and I will provide the pain. :-)
Funny thing is that I had a ZX here for a little work- I pulled those pesky 'flies out of the throttle bodies of the thing but of course did not bother looking into any of the bike's circuitry. Who knew this would be coming?

Kawasaki has been paying attention to this thread, the range indicator functions with the LFW on my bike. Had it down to 3kms on a recent trip, but only took 18l(4.75gal) to fill so I think they error on the side of caution.

I had 29kms showing when we stopped for lunch, then when I restarted the bike it did take over the entire screen and was flashing. It did stay flashing with the 3kms showing even though I traveled 2km to the gas station.
You have one of my L.F.W.E. on your bike and you got the low fuel warning? ?? I do not believe that is possible. ??No I don't have your eliminator on my bike. It's a 2014 and they have adjust the LFW to include the milage still. Or do all of them still include the milage? Is it's the flashing that is causing the irritation. Mine wasn't flashing with 29km showing, not until I restarted the bike after I had lunch when it showed 3km did it start to flash.

Did I **** him off or is this normal?
Hi guys,
I sent Brian (B.D.F.) an e-mail 48 hours ago asking for the cable, and still no reply. So today I wanted to send him a PM (bellow) and when I hit send I get the message from the system:

Hi Brian,
sorry to bother you again only 1 day after my first message (e-mail, actually), but I have quite a few things going on and would like to tick them
Are you still producing the cable for the low fuel warning? could I have one? a friend of mine is in Texas for a few weeks and he's willing to bring it across the pond for me.
Please let me know.
Cheers,
Martín

hello Brian,
thanks for getting back to me. Yeap, found your e-mail in my spam folder. My hotmail account has been acting up lately, treating wanted e-mails as spam, even from friends with whom I write regularly
Anyway, I replied now to your e-mail.
Cheers,
Martín
Hey folks, so what's the deal with the LFW on newer bikes? Does it show range or not? How about 2013s? And do you really have to be stopped to operate it, or is that just the safe thing to do? And finally, which 2 buttons do you have to press? Thx.
Brain, what is your 'KIPASS harness'? You have absolutely no explanation on your website. Inquiring minds want to know .
My 2014 shows the warning as well as the range, right down to 3kms is what mine showed at fill.
