[QUOTE="torch, post: 1448907, member: 1295"] I just had a quick look -- interesting research for sure. I'll read it in depth later. I already suspected any modification would have to be physical, for just the reason you mention: the elevator doesn't go down to the basement level, as it were. That would require a longer arm or different sender. I'm not looking to meter the reserve capacity. I'd be happy if the gauge was reasonably linear across the top 20 litres. And I think a slight bend to the arm would get this one (06) closer to the accuracy of my 03. But ultimately, I grew up on bikes without either fuel gauge or trip meter. I can adapt and live with this ;-) [/QUOTE]
