Fuel level

Due to the complex fuel tank ge-
ometry, the fill level cannot be
determined in the upper filling
range. For this reason, the fuel
level indicator only details the
lower half of the filling range.

If the fill level indicator reaches
1/2
the -mark 1, the fuel tank is
still half full. Now, the fill level is
exactly displayed.
If the reserve quantity is reached,
the fuel warning lamp is switched
on.

Fuel reserve

The fuel level at which the re-
serve warning lamp actually lights
up will vary according to dynamic
riding conditions: substantial in-
tank fuel motion (from frequent
changes in lean angles when
cornering, frequent braking and
acceleration) makes it more diffi-
cult for the system to determine
when the fuel falls to the reserve
level. However, the quantity indi-
cated as the fuel reserve on the
rear cover represents the mini-
mum in the tank when the lamp
initially lights up.
After the fuel warning lamp
is switched on, the distance
driven since this point in time is
indicated.
The distance, which can still be
driven with the reserve quantity,
depends on the driving style (on
the consumption) and on the fuel
level when the warning lamp was
