If you are "getting it " pushing her hard and the light comes on this will happen, for some reason it has like a delayed response lol it happen to a good Freind of mine when I was w him this was after some high speed runs of 170+

Yup, I had quite a walk when mine died within about 2 mins of the fuel light coming on. Ever since I fill up at 90 miles, whether it comes on or not. (2009 R1)

i have pushed about 20miles
then one time it ran out at about 10 miles
so i go by miles now.
the best i get is 100 miles
so reset your trip meter and refuel early to avoid.
its sucks walking the beast.
AAA membership is in order to avoid embarrassment

Made it about 32 miles after fuel light came on before I putted to a stop. I believe you can set it on your cluster. Check out your owner's or service manual.
