sender unit in the tank lift rear seat on drivers side take cap off and youll find it crack the big nut off undoe pipes and electrical block and pull put and youll know what your looking at then, mine tends to stick

Its not the sender. The sender doesnt control the light. The dials do. Just pull the bulb out and do it by the gauge. I had the same problem with my 106 and i never missed the light!
