My Paso's fuel gauge is very jumpy. I have had this bike since new and don't remeber if it was like this in the begining. Is every one's like that? There is supose to be a balancer or something in the circuit usally. :confused:

I'm not much on electrics. but the mechanical side of it is quite easy. It's easy to take the mechanism out of the tank from underneath. You can see how it works quite clearly. I got mine to read accurately, and the warning light come on at the right time.

You might find the contacts on yours need touching up.

Thank you Skins. I will get on it the next time I take the tank off.

Marinus,

I had a similar problem to you. This was my first Ducati and I was expecting the legendary Ducati handling. It handled like a pig and would just drop in to corners. I got to the point where I thought it was me. I was lent a Buell Lightning at a track and within two laps I was leaning this over further than I had ever dared with the Paso.

I continued to use the tyres that it came with as replacements were unobtainable then. I did have a spare set that were given to me with the bike, but it seemed wasteful to use these up.

"Fortunately" I snapped off the front tyre valve when inflating the tyre. As I had to take the wheel in to a tyre shop to get the valve replaced I decided to have the other tyres fitted at the same time. This was the best decision I have made as it completely transformed the handling of the bike.

Before looking at items like the head bearings etc. replace the tyres and have a test ride. You'll probably find that this has cured the problem.

My fuel gage was flipping out of control. Checked tank sensor, fine, when I went to reassemble I checked all contacts, one on the tank disintegrated. Replaced it and now it works fine.
