Sierra Fuel Level Sender Mod To Fit Koso Motorcycle Digidash

[ozz]

My lovely partner got me the Koso DB02R gauge for xmas

They replaced the sierra gauges from my donor which used the sierra fuel level sender with hole in tank cut to suit that sender.

 

The Koso fuel gauge has 2 settings 100 ohms and 510 ohms. My research suggests that the 100 setting suits Honda motorcycles and the 510 suits Yamaha motorcycles.

 

Neither setting suits the ford sender, the 100 setting gave some readings with the sierra sender but nothing with the 510.

 

I wanted a more accurate fuel gauge so I purchased the Fuel gauge wizard

This worked well, easy to set up and unfortunately easy to break which I did (stupidly and through no fault of the gizmo)

 

So having spent 30 quid and failed I looked for a cheap solution.

 

I bought a second hand fuel level sender from a Honda VFR800 for about £10.

 

 

On the bike the sender fits to the bottom of the tank so upside down for my purpose my sender fits to the top of the tank.

 

I want to keep the sierra fuel level senders top and seal so I don't have to mess with my tank hole.

 

so a bit of butchering of both senders and measuring of tank depth and I get this

 

 

 

 

I now have a hybrid Ford/Honda sender which reads on the 100 ohm scale on the Koso, no need for a wizard.

 

Hope this helps someone else save £20.

Thanks for posting this ozz. The acewell digitdash/fuel sender mismatch have been on my list for a while. I was going to go down the route of the wizard but having seen your idea I've ordered the same sender from eBay.

Excellent piece of work!
