There should be a light in the speedometer shaped like a gas pump. Hard to say how far, really. If accurate there is usually about 1/2 gallon left, so maybe 20 miles.

I'd just put gas in ASAP if you see that light , no telling if you will get a consistent number of miles once it lights.

2nded.
That light is the same thing as running on reserve on a carb'ed bike.
Except carb'ed bikes reserve is generally 1 gal VS fuel injection having .5 gal when the light comes on. Never understood why they did that. The tanks are the same size I think.

Either way, I wouldn't let it get that low very often. You are running a fuel pump and they don't like being run dry or close to it.

There is no such thing as a 2010 blackline.

Default Low gas

I never use my gauge I did a few runs to figure out what I get per gallon and use that as my guide I would not trust the gauge I get 31 miles to a gallon when I hit 100 miles I will start thinking about filling up
