On my Ultra when the fuel level gets down to 35-ish the ODO changes to miR 35-ish.
I installed SG guages on my Ultra and all I get is a fuel light then I manually have to chg it to see miR.
Does that sound right?
Thanks
Clif

Nope. My odo changes to the range mode automatically when it gets low enough... No sure what the exact number is though.

I Think thats right....
My 11 SG, the ow fuel light comes on around 40 miles remaining, then the Odometer changes to the fuel remaining when it gets in the single digits, or so.

I think the light comes on with aproximately 1gallon left, so depending on your MPG about 40 miles to empty.

I never associated the light with the r40 on the odo, will have to notice next time.

12 Sg here and this just happened to me 2 days ago. When I first noticed the change it was at r42. I went ahead and drove it down to about r20 and it changed to low.

Interesting
Anyone riding a 09?
These gauges are from a 09 on a 12 bike.
I let it go way past light, when i ck'd it was on low before pushing I got gas but it never chg'd over.
Did it with stock gauges but not now.
Thanks for replies.

My bike used to switch to the miles remaining, hasn't done it recently. I don't remember if it happened at the same time as the low fuel light came on or not.
I know that neither seems consistent. The miles remaining would jump up or down by 10 in less than a mile. I've seen the low fuel light on when the trip ODO is anywhere between 170 and 205 miles.
