Where you unplugged that from bridge across the two terminals with a piece of electrical wire, that should fool the bike into thinking its low on fuel

atleast if i make this working, i would get a warning saying its time for fuel

I was merely trying to eliminate an inoperative warning light mate! If the light works using the method shown then the next thing to check would be the tank sender

oki mate let me check this first and move to the sender.
thank you

Yes eliminate the light/instrument cluster first before replacing the sender unit. Disconnect the connector plug as Watty said and short the two wires together to see if the light comes on. There are some other tests you can do depending on the result. Have a look at section 19 in the Honda workshop manual.

sorry for the late reply, the light comes up on shorting the two wires.
now need to remove the tank and check the sender for any wire cut or loose connection.

At least you're heading in the right direction mate
