Lordy! Take a short ride, fill it up, and reset the bloody trip odo.

My Bandit didn't have anything but trip odo, so I got in the habit. When I got the SV, I took it out the first time, and rode it 'til the light came on. Comes on steady at 152, and you're riding on fumes by 155. Haven't pushed it beyond that, and don't care to. Running out of gas w/a fuel injected bike isn't fun. Most of the time, I just rely on the trip odo. Get close to 150, and I fill her up.

the '03 and '04 SV didn't have the blinking fuel light (no second sensor, just the one) so when it comes on, it only comes on solid.

It's at about 1.5 gallons so it isn't a huge deal, but it would be nice to have that second level.
