Prolly not, but it will flash an empty symbol when its empty which is always handy;)
It is common on sportsbikes not to have a guage.
You will get to know roughly how many kms you will get anyway.

Btw congrats.

Flashes the word "fuel" when its low and a light comes on. When the light starts to flash that's when you panic!

I get about 230km before the light turns on.

Enjoy the bike mate, they are awesome :)

Congrats on the bike and even more congrats for being able to get marty off it ;) .In regards to my earlier comment about getting used to the bike it is correct as far as key in brain out street ride.I do however reckon the best place to get to know it at the moment would be at a tutiored track school.In your case i would start the day of in the novice level then after a couple of sessions step up to the intermediate level.These days are much better than hart/stayupright days. I did and advanced 1 stay upright cornering,braking course over a year ago at broadford
and found it pretty average :lol: If its not wet i highly recommend that you attend the preston day

Thanks Mal. I might attend it after all. All depends on how my bike and I connect with each other between now and then :D.

How long before spots usually run out?

Tried for about 5 minutes to find out where the fuel gauge was and couldnt figure it out. I came back in and sifted through the manual. The bike doesn't have a FUEL GAUGE? :shock:

This bike has a lap timer but not a fuel gauge?
C'mon Vivek. Fuel gauge....bloody luxury!!!! :roll: :P . When I were young, we were happy that we had fuel tank on motorbike!!! :D :D

It does on mine. The floater is stuck inside the tank so it flashes non stop... very annoying actually.
