Re: fuel light
If memory serves, the K3 has only a 1 stage light (no 2nd, more urgent bit later on) so this is probably all the warning you're going to get.
Personally I'd fill up, you know a full tank is about 17L, you'll then see how close to empty you were, or pop a fuel can on the back Jambo

Re: fuel light
The 2nd stage light on the curvy leaves you with ~1.5L, which riding in town gives you about 15 miles. I'd be very surprised if the light gave you less notice than that, you should be fine.
Edit: I'd guess it's the 1st stage light you get so closer to 3L, but I've never measured reserve on a K3 so mine's guesswork Jambo

Re: Range from fuel light? K3
If you're on a K3 you don't have a 2nd stage. You'll get your 5 miles to the petrol station. I get 20+ miles on my K3 after the light comes on. Just don't go mad with the right hand!

Re: Range from fuel light? K3
If this help the light on my k3 comes on at around 100 miles. If I fil up straight away I can just squeeze 14lts in it.

Re: Range from fuel light? K3
I can get about 20miles on my K9 in top gear on the motorway at 50-60mph, soon after the light starts blinking, after which it goes solid. Then I start panicking!
