If from a "full" tank to "F trip" you're getting 155 miles or 250km. I would ask how many litres it takes to refill the tank.

If it's 10 or 11 litres then you're bike is, roughly, in the normal M.P.G. or litres /100km range for unaggressive riding.

The tank has a capacity of 23 litres (from full to completely empty)

If you only need those 10/11 litres, or so, to re fill at your 155 miles then you still have 12+ litres left.

This then implies your f-trip is coming on prematurely but if you're putting back in, let's say, 15 -18 (ish) litres, your bike is in the 46 - 38 m.p.g and that could be anything from riding style to poor bike health. (dirty air filter / tyre pressures / chain tension / poor engine oil grade / vehicle loading, bla, bla, bla )

From memory the 'F' light should kick in with approx 4-5 litres left in the tank giving a rough range of 60-70 (100+ Km) miles before you're pushing.

Only if you carry a 5 litre fuel can as a passenger for the journey. I'm almost certain that the fuel pump will auto -prime without any issues if you completely run out.

It's not uncommon for a premature F trip but as mentioned before, fill the bike up, ride for over 150km, re fill it and see how many litres it takes. Then do the maths to get your fuel consumption. Knowing this will let you work out how far you could travel on your F trip, given the full tank is 23 litres.

Ok, I got your point. Mine is abs model and they say abs models have different shaped fuel tank, don't know if this can be related or not. Should I wait for F-trip alert or not to refill the tank ? As I said before it's on 1 of 6 now. I think f-trip will pop up soon.

My apologies, that's my fault for not reading properly. Your tank may be a different shape because you have the battery underneath it, unlike the earlier model Ten. The fuel capacity is still 23 litres AFAIK. Run your fuel down to instigate the F trip.

Then fill up and note how many litres it takes. This will then tell you how long you have on F trip in terms of litres, (23 litres full minus your fill up quantity equals what's left in reserve in litres).

The next thing to do is to work out your fuel consumption so you then know what range in Km/miles your particular F trip / reserve will give you.....as a rough average.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I've tried it but the noise is still there. When I hold the windscreen while riding it stops.

i've had it and managed to pop it back in.
pull the rubber cover and see if you can move the lightbulb back and forth to see if sits tight,in my case i could move the lightbulb along with the lens, so i found the problem there.

if yes,then maybe the rubber spacers are not in the right position.

as for the fuel level indicator..
in my ten only the first and the last "line" are reliable and I can trust them.the 2-3-4-5 "lines" between them,are most of the times false and not representing the real fuel level inside the tank.
maybe it's the tank's strange shape that is responsible for that..
keep in mind that you have 6-7L left in your tank when the indicator starts flashing..
With the last line flashing I have drive for 120km.
max range with full tank is about 420 km riding alone with no luggage.

Just 5-10 minutes before this stop I was waiting a traffic light and motor stopped there too. Especially after rain exposure there's a burning smell around head but don't know where exactly.

Hmmm, that's sounding like chafed wires. You may have to look around the rubbing points of the wiring loom and look for shiney bits. good luck
