Re: Low Fuel Engine Light
First, I sure wish my 2006 XL1200C had a fuel indicator! I have to rely on using one of my resettable trip meters. Knowing I have more than 4 gallons in the road tank, and knowing I average 46-48 mpg in town, and 52 on the highway provides plenty of warning for fueling up. Apparently, my riding style is fairly consistent.

Re: Low Fuel Engine Light
My gas like comes on around the 100 mile mark on my nightster. I have heard this to be very common amongst the efi sporties.

Re: Low Fuel Engine Light
I just bought a 2008 1200C and I am having the same issue.
Not knowing where "empty" is can be a bit stressfull while popping down the highway more than 40 miles from the nearest re-fuel??? The light has come on every time with at least 1-1/2 gallons left in the tank. It's only a light - I still take a visual before heading out. |

Re: Low Fuel Engine Light
how did you manage 100 before the light on the nightster - mine came on around 75miles and i had about 20 left before it spluttered to a halt, never saw more than 100 all up, i see about 130 out of my Buell and i am not easy with the throttle

Re: Low Fuel Engine Light
100 Miles on the Nighster? I get around 60-70 miles before my light comes on. When I do a fill up, I put in about 2.2 gallons.
I do tend to rev it just a little....

Picked up my 08 1200C yesterday. Great bike, but mine did the same thing last night. Dealer showed me that it was pretty close to full when I picked it up. Low fuel light came on at 110 miles in the speedo. Filled it up and it took 3.070 gals. That's better than you guys are talking about, BUT I still have 1 1/2 gals left in the tank. Going back to the dealer on Mon, for some other things (put on a comfy seat and they didn't give me the "old" one & a few other questions). I'll ask this one also. Tracy
