I know that the 600rr's have gas gauges and i was wondering

would it be possible to put a gas gauge on other sport bikes? Specifically my f4i

has anyone done it or know what would need to be done in order to do it?

Id love to have a gas gauge on my bike

 

Sure anything is possible but its just more work than its worth imho. After a few tanks you should know how many miles your bike gets on a tank and use your tripometer as your gas gauge after that. The low fuel light should just be a warning for you, you should know approx. how many miles you have left.

What he said.

 

+2 I like using the tripmeter.

 

I just use a lighted match and hold it inside the tank opening, works everytime.

 

that was a joke

 

use the odometer

 

yup, tripometer is the universal gas guage.
My friend had an RR and the gas guage wasn't that nice. It seemed like it was always off. I can just look at my trip and see how far i've gone, versus how far i can go, and bam. I'd say that's even better than a gas guage. A gas guage will tell you how much gas you have using an interprative picture or analog guage, but a tripometer tells you numerically how much further you can go. Last night i had 103 miles on the trip, and i knew i had been riding hard thus lowering my MPG so i figured i had about 15-20 miles left on the tank. I went out for a ride, and bam, right at 125 the light came on.

 

Sometimes I want to rip the damn gas gauge out of my teg. It will go from F to 5/8's then back to F sometimes.

 

Or you can do like Ducati tanks of old and put a clear stripe on the side as a gauge.

 

yea i use the odo but i just figured itd be nice to have the gauge like the RR's

doesnt seem like its worth it

thanks

you hold it in there? i drop it in the tank and count how many seconds it takes for it to go out and use the acceleration of gravity and calc it out.
