On my 2009 XR1200, mine operated at about .5 gallons, now with close to 1k miles it typically comes on after about 10 minutes from start up, even with a full tank. Anybody know more about this?

Haven't you read the threads on this and others responses? These low fuel lights are a novelty and not to be trusted; use your trip odo.
