It's not fun. I did it last year after I realized that, on a sunny day, all I could see in the odometer/fuel gauge window was the reflection of my own helmet. I have to put my hand over it to actually read the gauge. (doesn't look like that would be a factor with the '14s improved display)
Unlike carbed bikes that slowly lose power as the carb bowls empty, the FI CB11 starts bucking like a bronco as it runs out. I honestly thought I had a mechanical problem until after I stopped and noticed the empty fuel gauge.
