I'm glad I found this - my fuel gauge is driving me nuts. Its showing 1/4 after only 120 miles. Last time it showed empty I put 4 gallon in.  Resistance is useful...
   cugsy, easy fix.  220 ohm resistor.

Looks like you've got Totally Wired Cycles fuel gauge adjuster installed.  They're no longer available, unfortunately.  It should have a plastic sleeve covering it to protect it.

I have one on my bike.  I've got it adjusted so I hit my reserve just as the gauge goes into the red zone.

I also have the Totally Wired version. It's a shame they went out of business they had some neat stuff. I also have their aux fuse panel which was a really nice piece of kit.

I might have fixed the gauge but I'm only getting 38mpg. Yik!

You have to wire tie the adjustable resistor to your right wrist to help with the mpg's.

What's really annoying is riding at a sedate 65mph ..ish and then being overtaken or tailgated by a nun in a Fiat. As soon as I speed up to a happy speed I know das polizie are waiting. Not fair  :'(

Nuns have the edge: nobody's going to write one a ticket!

If you're going to take your cluster out, you can mount the resistor right on the terminals on the back of the speedo.

Don't worry. The FIAT will break down looong before your Connie runs out of gas. ;)
