RE: low fuel light
Do you have the bike straight up when it comes on, or do you have it on the jiffysand and tuen on the ignition and it comes on? Some one mentioned before that you have to have the bike level or the ligght comes on earlier. I have verified that.

RE: low fuel light
Mine does the same thing. I'm always putting in about 2.7 gallons. One of these days I'm gonna bring a hobby pump. Once we stop to fuel the other bike I'm gonna run mine til it dies and then figure out the mileage for a fuel stop.
I think I like the old "switch to reserve" better.

The pickup can very a bit and not always pick up the last bit of gas in the tank.

That is why there are two tripmeters.
Reset A everytime you top it off.
Reset B when you blast off from the crib.
Can't get any easier.

Forget about that light, use your tripmeter.
