I really wouldn't worry about not having a fuel gauge. They fit them on the Tenere and they're next to useless (like almost all bike fuel gauges); they only give you a very approximate idea of fuel level... like whether it's full or empty! So you might as well just have a warning light.
No matter what I've ridden, I've always relied on the age old technique of working from the odometer reading. This method has never let me down in the last thirty years.

Yes a bit less fanging it around town and a bit better cruising off-road !!! But it's a damn pity they can't make a reliable and accurate (yet affordable) fuel gauge system on motorcycles. I'd have to say that fuel management is one damn important consideration while adventure riding. Especially so across the Oz Outback where it's often quite a little ride between fuel sources and the consequences of getting it wrong are more than a little serious. It would be really nice to have a better idea of what's going on well before the red light blinks 
Yes a couple of extra litres in the standard tank would be wonderful

I get between 130-150 miles to reserve depending on how i ride.
As said, fuel gauges on bikes aren't really up to much. i just re set the trip meter when i fill up and know when 130 looms i can expect to see the fuel light some time soon. |

Does anyone else stuff around with the fuel filler trying to dribble that last 1.2 litres of fuel in the top of the tank. That baffle thing just under the filler hole is a real pain.
Is there a fix? What is it for? |
