Does anyone have a link to the "zapper?" I'm not sure what to look for.

Confirmed in the positive via my TopScan Device which is a bi-directional scan tool My 2006 RT is finally free of all warnings or codes or unwanted warning lights. Did fill the tank with 93 before hand as suggested and added some VP Maddative to up the octane to 100 factory owners guide suggests 98 octane. I do keep it to a minimum of 97 as occasionally I run out of the VP Maddative. Stuff works.

Thank you for posting this. Just picked up a used 07 RTP and learned the hard way that the lower end of the fuel gauge isn't working correctly. Was still showing gas in the tank when it ran out of gas! I'll try this later. Been busy playing whack a mole with neglected-bike issue.

What is this actually doing to the gauge sending unit? Why does this work?

Thanks , this worked first time for me, it was just as you said. Cheers

Hiya, Curt! I am very interested in the Aerotrek, or Eurofox as it is called over here on the old side of the Atlantic. I was wondering what kind of landing and takeoff distances you think it is capable of? There are many LSAs out there that sure can take off and land shorter, but the overall package and value seems unbeatable.

…aaand it works!!! Great thanks for the tip!

I see that some time has passed since you solved the problem, I'm curious if it still works after how long?

I didn't understand well which pair of pins to excite first and which ones later, it seemed to me that first they are the two in the center and then the two at the ends, is this correct?

Hi, I looked many times your video and I dream about it 👍 I will go to get mine in about 1 month 😀 Thanks to share your experience and you did very good landings

I have done this almost two years in Aprilworked ever since i got my 05 at 74k im at 96k now lol not bad for my first bike ever the fun gauge is bogus it works but within 100milesb you best gas up cuz she left me walking one time pushing 😢 theu concreted off section of the highway cars behind😂

Curt, nice work creating a concise, fun to watch video with scenery and a sampling of the A220's capabilities. I took delivery of mine last year and it has far exceeded my expectations - flying all over the PNW from sea level to over 10,000' on hot summer days. The build quality is superb, operating cost very reasonable, and plenty of power for all around back country/ off airport fun. Safe flying!

Love this! I have owned my 1969 C172K since 2010 and it's been a great machine. I had a weeklong "bootcamp" to get me finished with my PPT and the day after I was minted the CFI took me out in his old Citabria for an 'intro to tailwheel" and it was such a hoot! I had about 9 hrs in an old Piper J5-A - also fun, never quite got the rating tho. I've been thinking about Aerotek for a while now, I know insurance will kill me, but TW is a lot of fun!

Wow good video Curt but your beautiful pictures passe too fast because it is interesting to take the time to look at them. Good music also. I came from Slovakia and my plane would be deliverd in Febriary or later... 😉 Thanks to have the opportunity to vew your trip with your friend 👍

Exciting!!! One way butt clench! Nailed it. That looks so fun Curt!

Great videos. I fly an Aerotrek in the UK (called a Eurofox over here) - it would be great to meet up when I am next in the USA to compare flying in different continents - here is me over Snowdonia last summer th-cam.com/video/zRDF9EmoimY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MaUob5flAgrJ0q8U

Any idea if this works on a K1200GT? Same exact LCD gage. My fuel gage shows empty and i get the yellow triangle too. Anyone? Thank you.

I think you summed it up, "a terrible, crappy design by BMW and they refuse to fix it". I won't be buying another BMW.

Great video. Worked for me as advertised on my 2006. I added alligator clips to my igniter switch and tossed it inn the toolbox for next time. Thanks.

WIsh I knew how you make it look so easy - lol.

Nice launch! What's the paramotors weight, and the pilots weight? Trying to understand if I have the right size wing for my motor for zero wind situations.

How long this fix will last ? Thank you

Long time admirer of the Aerotrek. I almost purchased a Rans Coyote at West Desert Airpark. My finances have changed so I'm glad it did not happen. Still a DREAM.

"Promosm" 😳

Bonjour a tous, je viens juste de le faire sur la rt1200 de 2009 🎉🎉 ça fonctionne ! Affaire réglé en 10minutes confection du piezzo compris. Ce qui met du temps c'est juste de se décider à le faire, j'avais l'impression que j'allais peut être mourir 😅

My Favorite skyscraper, remember, the skyscraper speaks, "YAY".

*Promo sm*

Thanks for posting! For anyone else doing this fix, pay attention to how long it takes for the error to clear. Mine seemed to take even longer. 2 minutes seems like forever when you're staring at a blinking error message. Just as you think it didn't work, you will realize it did.

Very good! The sound is surely better in live 🙂

Thank you it worked on the first try🎉😊

Thank you very much 👍👏it’s now ok

Try the kick starter

I think trims out with speed bar, I have a chance!

Works

I remember when I lived in Rosenberg seeing that light flashing over before the area getting so developed.

@curtster1962 can you give me your opinion. I am 6'6" tall and very slender. 190 lbs. Do you think I can make my height work to fly and own the A220? I appreciate your help.

I'm surprised they let you taxi so fast ;^)

Very good explication, thanks😉👍

Well Curt, first I have to thank you for sharing this method! I will begin by saying I am an amateur mechanic but will venture down unknown roads when I feel like I have no alternative. The alternative in this case was a $700 invoice plus transportation costs in today's high fuel cost environment for my 2005 BMW R1200RT. So, I took apart the plastics per your video (worked as described) and began making my Zap tool from some grill repair parts from Home Depot. Once I had my homemade zapper built, I was ready to go. I put the bike on the center stand, and hooked up the 2 leads to the 2 outside posts of the fuel display connector. I zapped those 2 outside posts 12 times, then I moved the leads to the inside 2 pins and repeated the zap process 12 times to those leads. I then removed my home made zap tool, reconnected the 4 pin harness and fired up the bike before reassembling. After about 85 seconds, low and behold my fuel guage came back and showed the fuel level in the tank correctly and the yellow triangle error condition was gone!!! Needless to say I was ecstatic to say the least!!! I am pleased beyond words and can't wait to share my results with my BMW mechanic, who was very skeptical to say the least!!! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR METHOD!!! 😃😃😃😃😃

Pretty cool, about how short of a runway does it need? Im thinking of an a220, and am thinking of using a patch of grass in my backyard. I didn’t measure, but it should be around 120 feet with a 11 foot obstacle in front. How long of a runway does it normally need on a non-windy day

I made this app. Will the indicator be active? Or is it just an image?

Lovely bike :D

Réussi avec succès 😁 merci

Just fixed my RT fiel strip using your video. Worked just fine. Thanks a lot for the video. Ride safe!

Good job! I get nervous with every launch I do. But once I get in the air, all the nerves are gone.

Curt, do I know anyone selling an A220?

Just completed this fix and it worked perfectly on the first try. No idea how long it will last, but for now I'm stoked. Thank you!

Was that a wheel landing? Looking at some SLSA this one is high on the list. While I like the look of a tail wheel dread the ground loop. Do you find crosswind landings to be difficult in the aerotrek. Doesn't look like much suspension off field landings probably not as good as a highlander.

Great video. Nice landings.

What a sweet launch and area. Wish I was with you! Be safe 🪂😎🪂
