I am the proud owner of 2007 Street Glide, So I love this bike, especially over the 2010 Wide Glide I traded in.

My question is it normal for the Fuel light to come on at a 1/4 of a tank? I have only fueled up 3 times so far, and last night I noticed that it came on, even though the gauge still read a 1/4 of a tank.

Also on my wide glide it showed on the display how many miles you have on the reserve. I can't seem to get that to show up on the Street Glide, not sure if that is option or when it started.

5 gal of gas. 1/4 tank 1.25 gal of fuel. 40 mpg or 40 miles til yer walkin give or take. I personally watch my miles and rarely go over 170 miles at that. 07 FLHT here

2010 FLHX and I have a "miles on reserve" readout on the speedo. The fuel light comes on at about 35 miles, just under a gallon on a six gallon tank. I've noticed that the "reserve" miles change if I change my cruising speed. On the freeway (77 MPH) it says 35. If I pull off the freeway the miles bump up to about 38.

This system is not just monitoring fuel level in the tank. It's also figuring MPG and how you're riding. Pretty nice out on the open road with few fuel stops.
