    Yesterday I went out of fuel in middle of driving. No warning from low fuel light. Can anybody tell me how to check is it sensor or light?
    Thanks

    The sensor is a little piece of metal affixed to the fuel pump flange, the 510 vibrates and the little piece breaks off and lays in the bottom of the tank. Happened to my 450. I use the tripometer now as my fuel gauge.

    Anyone know how it works on a Carbureted bike? My TE610 never shows low fuel, but I've also never ran it dry.

    If it works the same way as the fuel injected models, then as I understand it there are two wires that are connected to a little cylindrical assembly and when this is submerged in fuel there is no continuity between the wires, but when out of fuel there is, resulting in the fuel warning light to come on!
