Someone replaced the fuel gauge with an aftermarket gauge and I want to go back with a Kubota gauge. They cut the 8-pin connector off and there are just terminated wires on the gauge now. Can someone take some pictures or explain to me what wires go where in the 8pin connector that plugs into the gauge?

There is a difference between the 2011 and previous models. Not sure what year the change occurred, but there is a difference. I found out when looking at information from a shop manual for earlier years.
Let me know what year model you have and I'll attempt to send some manual information to you.

I have 2008 RTV900, fuel and temperature gauge have stopped working, both been doing erratic things when going over rough ground. Anyone have idea what's wrong?
I was thinking the same thing as Dennis ......
Don't know about anyone else. But when I have the opportunity. I put
DIELECTRIC GREASE on all my electrical connections.
The application of any sort of a nonconductive grease to the actual contacts themselves does not help them make better contact at that point, but helps
keep away corrosion, ..... corrosion makes conectors loose contact .....
Another common use of dielectric grease is on the rubber mating surfaces or gaskets of multi-pin electrical connectors used in automotive and marine engines. The grease again acts as a lubricant and a sealant on the nonconductive mating surfaces of the connector.
Use on the outside of a conection helps keep any stray electric contained !

I would check the ground wire/cable too. If you could turn on your headlights and maybe put a mirror etc on the bumper to see if they also do the same thing.If so I would guess the main ground. If not it must be in the wiring glob going to the gauges. Good Luck. bordercollie
edit: Like Two Guns says. that dielectric grease is good stuff! It keeps the tail light bulbs from rusting in place too.
Also do the lights on the gauges still work?
Head lights working even the lights in temp and water gauges are all good
the two gauges and hour merter Not working!

Did they all quit working at the same time ?
Weird SheepFarmer. The manual page that pepr posted tells how to test the gauges. The fact that rough terrain makes it act strange seems to make me think a loose wire somewhere... So the lights in the meters stay constant on the rough terrain and the indicator needles go nuts? collie
Yes all stopped. At the same time the lights sill working
And every think. Else
I think it in wireing some where for it all to stop. At once

My kubota lawn mower did the same thing. Ended up being a wire that rubbed until it broke. only thing holding it together was a piece of the rubber sheath. Traced the wires and found it.
thanks I im looking in wireing bit of work try find the broken wire it must be problem I think too
Sheepfarmer. There is a fuse(s) . Raise up the cargo bed and look there in the box on the backside of the backrest. It shows 15 a in the book. I am the worst at electric stuff and try everything till something works. collie

thanks all for input.
I hate wireing problems!!
the pos + wire in hour ,temp,fuel gauge are all joined then thay feed into a pos+ wire in main lome which must be broken some where .
so i found spare pos+ wire comeing out the main lome so put a white wire into it and joined up to the hour, temp,fuel gauge .
now works fine .
byepassing the broken wire saved me a lot work.
seeing had a broken pos+ wire some where in the main wireing lome.
try to find it was not looking really good!!
here some pics of what I did
just like to thakyou all for a help
