Don't really understand the need for a fuel warning system at all.  You KNOW that you are going to run out as soon as you fill up, its just a matter of time and distance, and you have a fuel gauge AND a range guide.

Running out of fuel is the most common cause of avoidable breakdown
with almost every patrol attending such a call-out (99%). Even more
surprisingly, over half (58%) patrols have been called out for simple
tasks such as topping up windscreen washers and even to repair a
CD player (57%).

if a bike has the old fashion reserve tank then a fuel gauge/system is not needed, but as the gtr does not have a reserve tank then it would be a nightmare without the low warning

you wouldn't want a car without a gauge , so what the difference with the gtr

I'm quite happy with a gauge and a range display.  I just don't need a 3rd reminder to fuel up.  And an annoying/distracting one at that

I've always used the first trip meter and fill up around 200 miles or so unless I'm riding through Nebraska, Wyoming, or Nevada, then it's about 150.

If i see just 2 bars on the dash, i fill up at the first opportunity...it goes down like a rocket after the 3rd bar !!

Agreed the constant flashing is annoying, but its just as Zeb has said....and i ain't pushing it  :surrender:
