I know my little yellow idiot light is gonna come on between 125 - 130 miles. Time to start lookin' for gas! I know it comes on then because i always reset my odometer when I fuel up. I've lost too many odometer reset thingys on my old bikkes due to vubration so I just try to remember the mileage I got gas at otr rely on reserve! God I wish my new bike had a reserve function! I hate this gas guage and EFI.

Mine seems pretty close but I just pay attention to the miles.
