I went to Maplins before they closed down and bought some resistors required to do the well known spoof.
My 2008 GS has the annoying 'no fuel' warning and yellow triangle problem.
Unfortunately Maplins dont do 39 or 43 ohm resistors in 1 or 2 watts. They only had half watt ones.
I have read on another forum that the heater element requires 1 or 2 watt resistors. They did have the other half watt 1meg and 2k ones so I bought them.
I did try them anyway, but nothing happened....started the bike, ran until hot. Not even the bottom 'heater element' chunk on the bottom of the fuel indicator display.
I can only assume that the 39 or 43 ohm resistor must have to be more than half a watt for the ECU to 'see' the (spoofed) heater element before sending some current.
I have ordered some higher wattage resistors to try. If I simply connect one to terminal 1 and 4 on the fuel strip connector (on its own), should the bottom chunk on the display appear?
