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.

Ive gone almost 30 miles on the light, I use the trip meter and as soon as 100miles comes around I'll start thinking about getting gas anyways.

I made it 23 miles once when I was exploring new territory and couldn't find a station.

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.
