Fuel Tank "sender" unit ......???

Post by **stormy** » Thu Mar 26, 2009 4:32 pm

saw this "item" on ebay, wondered if anyone can shed any light on it, as I don't recall the TRX having a fuel sender unit (mind you, its been a while since I've seen mine, let alone ridden it!)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/YAMAHA-TRX850-TRX ... 240%3A1318

best I can come up with is its from a TDM850 (late model?)

I saw it too,just assumed that the home market(Japanese)models might have been fitted with a fuel guage.

Seller has just replied to my enquiry, and confirms it is for a TDM and not a TRX........ somehow I'm not 100% convinced ..... I thought the TDM sender had a square base.

Oh hum....

Nope. Mine's just got the bum basic on/off/res tap like all the rest.

Who needs a guage anyway,gadgets just create more work when they develop a fault.
Opening a tank cap,peering in and rocking a bike is the age old method and I`m more than happy with that.
