Light a long match and put it in through the filler cap. Soon find out if there's enough fuel! 8O

when filling up see how many litres go in, bet your only get 11 or 12 litres, simple math will give you how much you had left.

mine comes on with aroun 3.5 lts left in the tank, but I get heads up earlier cause the light will come on early on the side stand.

reckon its the cruising rather than stop/ start/ giving it the gun/ braking type of mileage.
