- July 28, 2014, 19:10:13 PMThink we can all relate to having plenty of fuel left , when the light starts to come on . Mine starts to blink at 130 miles religiously , and I have approximately 1.4 gallons of fuel still in the tank or better . Wonder why Kawi had the light come on this soon ?

- July 28, 2014, 18:51:52 PMMine comes on at 3.5 gallons, almost exactly every time. When my fuel gauge needle lines up with the E mark, it takes 4 gallons....I'm pretty brave, so I run it about another 25 miles or so, after it hits E, and the most I ever put in was 4.5

Ya, with really rough calculations, it's seem my low fuel light is starting to flicker with the tank just under half full! Note though I spend a lot of time riding in mountain areas so a lot of UP and down riding which I guess would make the light 'flicker' earlier than if riding on level ground.

- July 28, 2014, 13:23:49 PMI was out for a slow cruise on Saturday. Coming back, my low fuel light came on solid (after going on and off for about 50kms (30 miles) but I had to go about another 50kms before hitting a fuel station. I was worried that I was running on fumes at that point but it took only 15+ litres to fill up (half way up the filler neck). I believe the tank capacity is 19 litres which would imply I had another approximately 4 litres to go Does that make sense - that the reserve light would start flickering with 100 Km + 4 more litres before empty?
PS: not sure why I've owned this bike for so many years and am just noticing this now.
