Only the EFI bikes have the Low Fuel light. It's on the Speedo.

Light comes on around 80 but I normally put gas in it around 100 unless I am in the middle of no where when the light comes on. I've never put more then 2gal or so in it.

Has anyone adjusted it so the light comes on with a gallon or so left? Seems to me the light pops on real early. I mean if I have 1.3gal or so left to go I have a while left before I am in any sort of trouble.
