I have a 2009 Vt400 shadow with stock tank (14.5L) however it doesn't have a fuel guage, just the warning light on the instrument cluster.
I was wondering if anyone knows how low the tank gets before the light comes on.
like are we talking a couple litres or when it gets down to reserve? and on that, does anyone know how much the reserve is?

I've got a 400 ad well The light comes on at 4.5 lt (roughly) with around 100km left, though I have run out (nearly, coughing and splutering) at 80 open road running and gunning it a bit and luckily the petrol station was at the bottom of the hill

So basically a third of a tank, cool! Will be doing some observations on fuel efficiency with premium fuel and after bolting on some pipes with O2 eliminators etc. At least now i have a baseline so i'm not stuck walking to the petrol station. Thanks a lot Frank

My bike is a VT750 without even a warning light. Everyone I know just resets the trip meter to zero and in my case when I get to roughly 250K i'm looking for a fuel station. Around 280-290k I can expect to be switching over to reserve. Rodaco.
