Sorry, nope!
I just fill it up at the first station after the light in case I forget how far I've gone. Would hate to push this thing.

Donny eh? Another Yorkshireman then! :D

Hi Stan
Hand is getting better all the time thanks! Healing nicely.

I once got told that a Yorkshireman is just a Scotsman with every last ounce of generosity squeezed out of him! :wink:

It is alot of work, to make that little yellow light come 10-15 miles later, but it can be done. Remove the tank, then pull the fuel pump assembly out, and you will see a small white cylinder next to the pump. There are three or so indents that the low light warning sending unit can click into, put it into the setting that sits it the highest in the tank. Yours might have fell off like mine and is hanging loose, that is why it lights up when there is lots of fuel left. By the way the fuel pump assembly snakes out of the tank like one of those twisted metal puzzles, take your time.

Here's what he's talking about. The fuel pump assembly is placed on the naked bike in nearly it's normal position and orientation. It also shows the relocated canister and how I bent my battery terminals to fit the WestCo battery as mentioned in another current posts.
