    Hi, I've been told it runs out at .7. I've got it to .5 and bottled it, and filled up!

    Phew I was unsure of this. Twice I've taken it to .4 twice on track and touring. Then filled up.

    When the count starts at 0 it indicates you have reached the "reserve" level.
    Reserve on our bikes is 0.7 gallons.
    As with all of these things, it is an estimate and depends on riding style as to how long it lasts.
    If you need to and you nurse it, you should easily get 30 miles, thrash it and you wont.

    It's a pretty rubbish system IMO, I preferred it in the days of the manual switch to reserve lol
