Fuel light
Just wondering how many extra k"s, Or miles you get after the fuel light comes on.......apparently my tank takes 25 litres , I just filled up because the fuel light came on, says to stop after first click, I hate how you can't see the fuel level, it stopped at 16 litres (first click) so I thought has to be able to fit more in, so I did anyway.

Let's see..!!
I know there is a gal+ when the light goes on so to be safe I figure I can get 33 miles. Thats what I normally get on average 33 mpg. So figure how many kpl you get and that time around four should be a safe range...

Call me a coward, but I look for a gas station when I get near 1/4 tank. I do this in the car, as well. Not interested in pushing to the limit and being stranded.
By the way, if you are a member of AMA ( American Motorcyclist Association) you get road service including bringing fuel. It is free if you do automatic renewal.

Normally my gas mileage is 6.9 L/100 kms, 34 mpg (us gallon). When my fuel light comes on steady. I figure I will be out of fuel in 90 kms. But they are all a little different. Your fuel mileage varies. Each fuel gage is a little different.

Fuel capacity was some what of a complaint once these things started being ridden, people started carrying some of those slim, durable plastic fuel cans like they mount of Jeeps, quads and side x sides...just in case.

I know the last time I ignored the low fuel light, I got 1 mile from my destination (gas station). I don't know how many miles I rode, but I sure know how far I walked. Best to fill up before that light comes on!

There's a lot more that goes into the calculation of how long the gas will last. The first half of the of gas will get more than the second half of a tank, the temperature of the gas, and so on. Here in Georgia, USA. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. In the winter I stop for gas at 2 bars and summer 3 bars. I have not run out of gas yet using this method.

One comment I made to a BRP rep on a follow up survey call was that I thought the low fuel light could be brighter...hard to see in the Florida sunshine...I have ran out and thank goodness for Roadside Service...BTW, hasn't happened again, I now refuel on two bars...lol.
