testing fuel light

[Bretty]

Hi all,

I went out for a whirl on the bike last night. The tank was pretty empty, then I realised I've not seen the fuel light come on in ages, then I started getting paranoid about the dodgy connector under the tank.

Is there a way to test the fuel light without running the tank to empty?
The gauge I working fine, does the light work off the gauge or off a separate sensor in the tank? (if that makes sense)


Thank you,

Brett
