As for the fuel light... they all do that! They are unreliable and inconsistent (the fuel gauge on a Z is even worse) and should only be ever used as very rough indicator that the fuel level is dropping. Best just to reset the trip and get used to how many Km you can go before you need to fill up.
I don't understand what mapping is can you explain please?
I have just fitted a fuel mod and o2 controller and my bike xtx has started cutting out and responds slowly if i rev the throttle fast what can i do as the bike seem worse than before i fitted them????
