Sorry about the incident, it may be both in a dangerous situation as well as the wrong time to deal with it.I've had my Rosso V100 for just over a month now, and have been completely loving it, but just ran into my first frustration with the bike. On my way home from work yesterday, my amber fuel light comes on. I think to myself I have plenty of fuel to get home and will fuel up on my way to work today. All the while, the fuel gauge UI stays stuck at the red 1/6th of a tank of fuel. I had heard from a couple of forum goers here that the V100's low fuel warning comes on far too early, so I didn't worry at all.
So on my way into work, I run out of fuel on the interstate. Doh! My "Trip Fuel" counter (how many miles I've ridden since the fuel warning) reads 33.9 miles. This is the first time I've run out of fuel on a bike in 15 years, and my last time I was a brand new rider. <embarrassed>
BUT the frustrating thing is, the bike's fuel gauge was still showing 1/6th of a tank left when I ran out! I always only about 5 miles until my gas station, and was watching the "Trip Fuel" counter ticking up, but wasn't panicking because the fuel gauge still had a full tick left.
Lesson learned the hard way ... when your fuel gauge shows one tick of fuel left, the bike might very well be running on fumes!

I too thought I had enough full starting a long ride out into desert due to the top right range indicator stating over 100ml. Well I'm guessing it uses you recent average to calculate as I only got about 40ml of spirited. riding before the trip fuel started and I panicked. Anyway made it 29ml of controlled riding to nearest gas station.I've had my Rosso V100 for just over a month now, and have been completely loving it, but just ran into my first frustration with the bike.

If you read my story earlier in this thread, you'll see that I ran mine dry.Hmmm, not so sure as I could not not fill the tank with enough petrol to any where near the manufactures stated size. I think there is still more.
Anyone willing to run the beast dry to find out
We don’t drive such bikes for absolute eco driving…
