The fuel gauge on the Ten is like a pretty woman, nice to look at, but it's got little practical use.
I've had the F-Trip come on under 100 miles, and over 200 ! If you ride straight and steady it's fairly happy, if you are twisty undulating roads, it's very unhappy.
In both cases though, the fuel use of the bike remains fairly constant. So I take no notice of the fuel gauge, depending where I am I will fill up somewhere between 120 and 160 miles on the trip. (if I'm just local, and know where to get fuel, then I'm happy to run 50 miles into F-Trip).
I've even seen the F-Trip come on, then if I stop and restart the bike I've half a tank..... You get more sense out of a three year old !
