Am I right in thinking that when you get down to one bar on the guage it will start flashing? The flashing indicates that you are on reserve which will give you between 30 to 50 miles depending on how you ride?
I too fill up at around the 150mark (done 5 now already!) but is handy to know the bikes limits in case of that 'in the wilderness and low on juice' scenario!
Thanks for info guys n gals.

Yes. Down to one bar, then the bar will start flashing and the F-trip will start counting up from zero.
I reckon you'd struggle to burn through the reserve capacity in less than 40 miles in normal use. Tripletom did try it with a fuel can on the back, and got 50 miles to dry, and I'm sure he won't mind me saying that he's not one to nurse it along to conserve fuel.
I hardly ever fill up before it starts flashing, and if I'm just commuting I'll usually run 20 miles or so into reserve before I even think about going for fuel - but then I know where the petrol stations are, and doing about 200 miles a week I spend enough time stood in them as it is without filling up more often than I have to
