how many miles do you guys get when your reserve light comes on? i have a monster 2009 696 and at only 13 miles on reserve light i ran out of gas. my 848 gets about 45-50 miles depending on how i ride, so i was shocked when at only 13 the bike died out and wouldnt start. then after putting about a half of gallon of fuel it started right up.
it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.

IIRC the S2R light comes on with half a gallon so maybe 20 miles?
Every bike I've ever owned.

The fuel light is supposed to come on with 0.8 gallons left.

It varies from time to time with me. When I first see the light I know to get gas ASAP! It came on once and about two minutes later I was coasting into a gas station.

I usually get around 20 to 30 miles before its completely drained

Typically at least 20 miles, I've gotten a bit more but don't usually push it.

However, since riding a bike without a working fuel light I never rely on it, just use the trip meter every time.
