Sprint 2001 Sprint St Fuel Gauge Fault

Now I don’t know if it’s true of the newer bikes but I was told a while ago that my Daytona shouldn’t be shut off with the kill switch as it can corrupt the ECU, or at least cause some problems.
It’s because the kill switch is for an emergency shut down only as it kills power instantly to the ECU whereas shutting off with the key doesn’t, which allows time for the ECU to write updated data to its memory.
I’ve not looked into it to see if this is true, but it sounds plausible. I have heard reports of ECUs becoming U/S because of this.

Yes I would tend to say its a sticky old float in your tank.

I had a friend with an early trident and it was a beggar worked some times another it messed about. He had to replace the float. Couple of years later it started again. He bent the float so it showed full al the time. Problem sorted. Well it was a few months later when he wrote if off.

Joe.
