I've got a K3 SV1000 with various induction and exhaust mods. I usually get 112 miles from full to yellow light with "spirited" riding. I've always assumed I've got a bit in reserve but look for fuel ASAP.
Sunday I left Reading with my yellow light on. 16 miles to home so thought I'll be fine. Fill up when I get home.
Riding around the Reading ring road the bike died on me a couple of times. Managed to restart and rode it into a petrol station well actually coasted into a petrol station as it had died completely by then.
I doubt I did more than 10 miles with the Lamp on.
Anyone got any experience of how far you've got on a fuel warning on a K3SV1000? I'm not sure if my sender is a bit off or perhaps I've just always ben very lucky not to run out.
For those unaware, the K3 has a 1 stage LED. LED off, LED on, Push bike to petrol station. I discovered this when I first got the bike and wondered how many miles it was between on and flashing.
