Fuel tank size for Ribeye 650 s 2002

Hi all.

Finally purchased a rib, a 2002 Ribeye s650. It has new engine gauges but the fuel gauge needs to be set at 0,25,50,75 and 100%. Don't really want to run it out of juice to find this out so has anyone got any idea?

I suspect your ribeye has a yam on it ? , have you not got a speed and fuel gauge ? if you have you should be able to "add Fuel " to the tank and watch it get used on the speed and fuel gauge ! as your engine records hours and revs and miles it should show you a fuel burn ! from this you should know exactly how much fuel you have left !!!
i have it on my yam and have similar on my honda through nmea 2000 engine cable to my garmin dashboard screen
personally i would throw the fuel gauge away unless you can plot its output litre by litre into a electronic dashboard

Fuel burn is the only accurate way imho tank gauge will be all over the place

But you still need to know how much your tank holds to start with
