Re: what do you think of this???
you will need a test light and have to figure out what wire goes to the low fuel light and then wire in a light

with a wiring diagram you can figure out which wire is for the gas light but unless it already has a fuel gauge its gunna be a whole lot of work to put a gauge on it. wiring a LED up shouldnt be too hard tho.

Im pretty sure it does read gas the same way your normal gauges would read gas. So if your OEM gauge reads gas, it will. If it doesnt, it wont. I'll ask them for you though

Re: what do you think of this???
ive nvr had gauges on my 636 so hell i dont know what they even look like turned on but im curious to how well this, or same type of gauges work cuz i dont wanna spend 100+ doll hairs on a product i wont be able to use for anything except this. im surprised more people aint interested

Re: what do you think of this???
nah I think its something to do with how long the bike runs, and how many miles you drive or something
cause my gauges loose connection to power when the bike is off (another damn short lol) and when my reserve light comes on, it can get down to 2 bars say driving 10 miles.. then I shut my bike off, restart it, no reserve light, drive 2 miles, light comes back on full 4 bars, drive 10 miles it drops to 2 bars again
Once my reserve comes on once I gotta remember to fill it, otherwise I could do the reserve cycle over and over tell it says I'm still full on reserve, yet I'm actually out

Re: what do you think of this???
ok heres what i think, i could be wrong cuz my best thinking gets me into trouble, but as far as the low fuel light i dont think there is a specific wire for that i think its built into the gauges so as far as taping into some line and wiring a light up to it just to get the same effect w/o having the whole gauges wouldnt work, cuz either that line is gonna read either full or empty there reall is no inbetween that signal is something in the actual gauges itself...

**** this helps me none, where is that thread about running the light? hell thats cheaper anyway, im gonna use a christmas light jk but still who has this done, who has seen it or even know where the thread is at, throw up some pics or links or something, i cant be the only one worried about running outta gas doing highway high chairs

Re: what do you think of this???
yeah, the f4i just has a dummy light for low fuel. any bike with a dummy light, and not an actual gauge and you should be able to just tap a wire and pickup the signal for low fuel. my lights haven't worked, that i've noticed, since i hooked them up(one for fuel and one for oil). i haven't looked at them yet, but i will figure it out and post up in the original thread with the results.
ps. sorry for not gettin back to you onewheel, i've just been too lazy to get it done.

I have a mountain bike speedo, cheap and easy to install. reads mph and keeps track of miles, so once I have like 50 miles on the gauge I know its about time to gas up. heres a pic

Re: what do you think of this???
I was gonna hit you up again but figured you'd get around to it one day. I tapped into the wire that was labeled "fuel res sens" from the manual and it didnt work for me. From what I remember I think it was a brown/black wire or black/brown wire I'll post up when I get home but again, it didnt work for me for whatever reason

Re: what do you think of this???
neal r u doing this on a 36? and just adding a light right? i looked at the wire diagram for the 636 u posted on the other thread and man is it not tiny, and hard to trace those lines, i need some color ones lol but hey its way better thne nothing, im gonna try to mess with it in about an hr or two when i get home but def post ur results, color of wires etc
