    so my 09 610smr sputtered to a stop on the way home the other day without warning, just curious if anyone else has seen that before? When i turn the key on, I see both idiot lights on the display light up, so I know they function...............

    thanks

    I tested my low fuel light and got 10 miles after it came on.

    It's marginal to trust these

    Have you ever pulled your fuel pump and re-ty-wrapped the pump assy? Had a problem with mine slipping out just enough to only use the upper portion of the fuel pickup and it would run out of gas with plenty left. How much fuel did it take to fill it up after running out?

    Had the same problem with mine.The warning light never came on and i run out of fuel.Since then i open the cap and check the fuel level.The light is still not working although it illuminates when i turn the key.I dont know what to check.Any ideas?

    Pull the pump and check for the fuel pump not being totally secure and for broken wires or other parts on the fuel level sensor. Both are common problems on '08 and '09 bikes. Fix the fuel pump even if that's not the problem at present because if not permanently fixed it'll bite you eventually. Search for "slipping fuel pump" and you'll find a couple of good threads with pictures.

    My low light doesn't work either. I zero the trip meter every fill up. Start looking for gas 100/120mi. mark. Carried a gallon with me once, ran it until it ran out, noted the mileage, and now..... no need for the idiot light.


    Happy Trails....

    PS. I'm good for adout 145mi. total give or take a little......
