Aftermarket fuel level gague was created by Larry G
Has anyone ever seen a good aftermarket fuel level gauge that's on a KZ ?

I am thinking about it and would like to see if anyone else has done it before. 

Thanks for your advice. 

I did a quick search of the fourm but didn't find anything to do it.

The first thing I would suggest is you check out the manual to see what the max and min resistance of the OE tank sender is, from there the choice is infinite! - why do you want to go "aftermarket"?

Don't think there was one on a 750e. Speedo, rev & volt but no fuel guage.

All kawasaki's that do have senders ang guages have the same ohm range. 100 ohm reads empty, o ohm reads full. 


Z1000J2 somewhat modified!

No voltage there is a version that has voltage but not mine . 
Actually to kinda expand on my idea 
Anyone know what companies specialise in after market stuff like this 
it would be cool to know what voltage is also

My mistake, I had assumed you had a gauge currently. How do you plan to install a sender ? again lot's of voltmeters out there, just ensure you select one intended for a motorcycle or boat (weather resistant)

There is a company in the Czech Republic called lsk motorbike they sell a system that can measure hydrostatic pressure. I am not sure if it's good or will work but I think I will call them tomorrow and ask.

it looks to be sold out but I am not to far from the Czech Republic.  I might make the trip.

Yeah I think so too. The company looks like they do mainly ADV stuff but this could be really good for old timers etc. 

There is a video of an older system they made on YouTube.  But they don't seem to have it anymore


it was an led bar indicator that's smaller than the gauge I kinda prefer it. 

but if anyone else has any idea of what to do or other stuff I should consider please share. 

thanks again

There wasn't an 83 750E available in the US. 
The 81 and/or 82 models had a fuel level switch w warning light on the speedo or tach. part #27010-1055. a number of models had it. and there were several different versions of it. some are longer than others, so the low fuel warning light may come on sooner.

Yeah I am not in the US mate. Deutschland bro so not sure when the European version was released. The bike was first registered in 83 but it's the 82 model. Thanks for the info. This was kinda my original plan to measure the low fuel indicators impedance and connect that to a gague. 
This is my first KZ so I am very much new to the community so I am still learning. I actually have no idea where the low fuel indicator light is ?
