Low fuel light
It would seem you guys could design a low fuel light on the Sportster that actually works correctly. My 2014 Superlow light never comes on at the same level of fuel. Sometimes it comes on after using 2 gallons (4.5 gallon tank) somes times after using 2.5 gallons , but never using more than 2.8 gallons.
Its just agrevating. |
Lucky I dont have a fuel light...I know when I have to stop and get gas
|
I know when I have to get gas as well, I just hate to see that light come on early all the time.
|
The light on my '72' reliably comes on at the same level of fuel every time.
|
Read the fine print on the light:
It reads: Ha, ha, made you unscrew the cap and look! The Bonneville was the only EFI bike I've had. The low fuel light was very predictable. I still reset the trip odometer every fill-up. |
As long as I can still see down in the hole I'd probably still use the old fashioned method above all. Look inside.

wait til you own a 48, you'll love that fuel warning light, on a biking holiday a couple of weeks ago I got to 70 miles before it came on, I was crapping myself thinking the bulb had failed:laugh
love that bike but the range is diabolical. :D |

On my '72' (same tank) I had the combined speedo/tach, with its 'range to empty' readout. That was pretty accurate, so I had a very good idea how far I could go before filling up. Oh yes, and the low fuel level light came on very reliably every time at 10 miles range remaining. |
I just reset one of the trip clocks each fill up so I know when to start looking for a fuel station, I've also got a 1.5 fuel can in my swing arm bag 😁
Very Long way Down 🤣 |
