Does anyone know how to reset the temp gauge on this bike so that it shows? It somehow disappeared on my bike that i ride as i was trying to work out why it didnt work on a project bike of the same type. That is, the project bike has no temp gauge showing and i was looking at my bike and unplugged the coolant sensor and when i re-plugged it, the gauge did not show up. I have looked at the pdf manual (thanks kiffsta) and in part 5 page 20-12 it shows to join Green/Blue to ground to check if this is working. I checked it and the reading is correct (meaning the gauge reads H with all bars lit. When the connector is re-plugged the gauge is not showing). Is there some sort of battery reset or something that i should do to clear the memory? Surely the Engine Coolant Sensor (ECT) cannot become faulty simply by unplugging it as it is a variable resistor that is affected by heat?
Problem solved. I tried battery removal and left it over night and that didn't fix it. I tried ECM removal and that didn't work. I tried resetting the coolant sensor as per you tube and that didn't work. Went for a ride today and there was no temp gauge at all when i left. As bike warmed up the gauge came on. Maybe the temp sensor has to be a certain degree to then reset the gauge to show up?
Thanks for the reply. What is very strange now is that the temp gauge completely disappears when the bike cools down . It is sort of like the resting temperature is now off the scale ? Meaning when the bike cools down, there is no temperature bars at all and when I run the engine for say a few minutes , one bar appears then two and it sits on three bars when it is warm. If it had a bad earth , wouldn't it not show anything? I think it really strange that all I did was unplug the coolant sensor and then replug it. I could try cleaning the socket but it does already appear quite clean.
