You have to lift the front of the tank up and then you can see it at the very back of the tank.

:eek WHAT? Really? So no reserve then, how many miles do you get after the dash light comes on ? Can't believe it
Re: Fuel tap ? - BBROWN1664 - 21-05-17
No reserve in that sense. You have a fuel gauge and a warning light instead. Theres officially about 2.5 litres left when the light comes on. Enough for 20+ miles if you take it steady.

Thanks for that, one mystery solved

I normally do about 35 miles after first time low fuel light comes on before I start to worry and have done over 50 miles but wouldn't recommend it.
To fuel pumps don't like running dry so anything with a fuel pump tends not to have a reserve but gets a low fuel light instead.

The one fitted to base of tank is very useful whenever you wish to remove tank from bike for access. Be aware that a full tank is pretty heavy especially on the later incarnations (22 litre capacity).
