My fuel warning light is lying!!

Ah! I didn't know it went to constant when it is nearly empty.

Is there any way to stop it from blinking? I prefer to fill it up than to sit there watching it blink, blink, blink, blink ...

I don't like my K5, I have no idea how many miles/litres flashing light means I have left, my K3 was fine, 20-30 miles with fuel lights solid.

K5 confuses me

Iirc the level for the flashing light is 5L and solid 2L, It will go soild so you can ignore the flashing if you want. I fill right to the brim and get between 120 and 150 before flashing depending on how heavy I am being on the throttle. Simple maths suggests I should make 200 miles before fumes. Never been brave enough to try it though.

Should be the other way around IMO. A solid light will grab your attention but not **** you off, a flashing light does my tree in even though i could go another 60 miles before i run out.

Even when my flashing light is on i know there's a fair bit of fuel in the tank, i can hear it too. I along with everyone else don't think you have a problem but it's a pain in the **** we all have to live with -tear-.

Just stick a bit of tape over it, or remove the bulb

Hi Guys

Is the SV1000 different? My K4 does not seem to have a flashing bit - it just goes solid after a couple of half hearted attempts.
Cheers

So does my k4.
i do not understand ...definatly a k4 but has the whole k3 fuel light non blinkage!

I'm commuting on my k5 pointy at the moment.
Now I admit that I'm not taking any prisoners on the way to and from work (All I'll say is current best is 43 minutes with a fuel stop ).
I bung about a tenner a day in the tank and mines flashing at the 120 miles mark so yours cant be too far out.

Got the gladius,light starts flashing at 165 goes on at 195,got another 10,topped up with 13.8 ltrs.I was on a 400 mile day out so i was taking it steady on b roads, 8.3 /4 hrs riding time,really need some padding
