1) Learn what your tank range is, and go off the trip counter.

2) Small piece of black insulating tape over the warning light :D

I did point one, but point two used masking tape so when the light comes on its not soooo bright but you can still see it if you forget to reset your trip when refuelling:icon_wink:

Reserve on XTR

My fuel reserve light comes on at about 187km, then it comes off & on till about 215km when it stays on.
I reckon it's a good idea to reset one of your trip meters every time you fill up so that you can learn when the light will come on & you know EXACTLY how far you've travelled.
A fuel gauge would be nice psychologically but the reset trick should help ease your worried mind.

You've got a Tenere haven't you? No light, just a flashing gauge.

I have never looked on my 660r to see how the fuel sender works but on my transalp there's a potentiometer type device in the tank activated by a simple float. It would be easy enough on the transalp to bend the arm on the float so it showed more in the tank. I would imagine a somewhat similar system on the XTs.

Yeah - I was thinking along these lines as well.. Time to start reading the manual.

It seems the sensor might be part of the fuel pump?

Bloody hell guys GET A GRIP !!
YOU ALL KNOW WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO REACH RESERVE AND IF YOU DONT, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE LEFT IF YOU DO GET TO RESERVE.
How would you manage if you didnt have the luxury of a fancy flashing light to wipe your arse.:moon::moon::moon:
