Need fuel guage needle 4 Months ago
|
|
Hey guys,
I took my instrument cluster apart so that I could put some little rubber sleeves over the posts since my diagnostic sweeps were irregular...Sometimes both work, sometimes just one worked, and sometimes neither worked. I also had to take the odometer lcd out to try to replace the uv filter over it since it was all crinkled from the intense sunlight here in SC. Anyway, when I pulled the needles off to get the odometer out I managed to break the fuel needle. Can anybody tell me where I can get a suitable replacement? I only need a needle and hope not to buy a whole assembly since I'm still trying to sell the old girl. I did superglue the old needle back together but I don't know how long that will hold up and I don't want to sell the bike with a defective fuel guage needle in it. Any suggestions?

You can go to partzilla.com and see a break out of the parts you can order. Unfortunately, the fuel indicator needle is not a part that can be ordered. Your best bet is to hope someone here has an instrument cluster they will sell/donate to you.

It will be in the mail tomorrow. It still has the post in it, so you can install whatever way works for you.
