+--- Thread: What does each bar on the fuel gauge represent? Miles or fractions of gas? (/showthread.php?tid=698)

No issues noted to date. I'm more conservative on the filling procedure, though, after reading from another poster that a magazine guy caused a problem with the emissions system attributed to overfilling. I'll take it to near the top of the tank and let it settle maybe once or twice, tops.
I always fill straddling the bike, so my fills might possibly differ a bit from a fill with the bike on the side stand.
I was a little worried after running it dry that it might require some funky procedure to prime the high pressure fuel pump required for the EFI, but it was a non-issue. Like flyinrider said, I just gave it a second after key on to pressurize and I was on the road again without a hitch.

Ferret,
I did try to start filling the dry tank to see how much it took to make each bar go on. For various reasons, it didn't got exactly like I hoped. I did keep a record of what I got, but it is not perfect. Maybe I'll try it again some day.
If I can find the paper with the numbers, I'll send them to you and you can decide if the info is any value what so ever. And right now I don't remember how much the tank held (filled to the bottom of the filler neck).
And no problem with fuel pressurization. Just turn on the key and wait for the test and pump to stop. Started right up.

That about sums it up for me.
I reset my trip odometer at every fill up and I run for about 125 to 135 miles and fill up. That works for me.

Yes perfect I do exactly the same except with km
