This is the fiche-listed Royal Enfield 594870/A – Fuel Gauge Unit used on the Thunderbird family and its Rumbler derivatives. Multiple dealer pages list it exactly as “FUEL GAUGE UNIT – 594870/A” and tie it to Thunderbird 350, Thunderbird 500, Thunderbird X 500, TB 350 BS4, and Rumbler 500/350 – so we can safely publish those models as confirmed, and skip everything else to avoid returns.
It’s the OE sender/float that sits in the tank and feeds the fuel-level signal to your cluster. If your TB/Rumbler shows stuck fuel level, drops to empty, or reads wrong after refuelling, it’s usually this unit. Because it’s OEM, the float arm length, resistance range and connector match your Thunderbird/Rumbler harness — no wiring cuts, no guess resistor. Remove old unit, drop in 594870/A with a fresh O-ring (if your tank uses one), reconnect, and your gauge will read the way RE intended.

FAQs
Q1. What does this part actually do?
It’s the in-tank level sender – the float moves, the resistance changes, the meter shows fuel.
Q2. My gauge shows empty all the time – will this fix it?
If wiring and the cluster are fine, yes. 594870/A is the common failure point on these TB/Rumbler bikes.
Q3. Can I use this on a Classic 350 UCE?
Not fiche-confirmed – don’t list it there. Stick to Thunderbird / Rumbler.
Q4. Do I have to drop the whole tank?
Usually you remove the sender from the tank opening. Do it on a low-fuel tank and replace the seal.
Q5. Is this the same as 594870 (no suffix)?
Current dealer pages show 594870/A as the live supply; treat /A as the updated version.
