2013 Handbook "Fuel level indicator This function displays the fuel level. The low fuel light turns on when the level goes down to 2 marks and there are still 4 litres in the tank; if the level goes down further, the last mark will be displayed flashing." 7 litres seems a little excessive when the book states 4 litres. Maybe 2014 is different or it needs adjusting.
I just cannot remember what the exact milage is when my fuel light comes on and if it indeed it comes on when the gauge shows two bars. Next time I ride my Mutley will have to check it out. However it could be a while, around here I think a boat would be more appropriate. However I do not believe the handbook 4 litres, I'm sure mine more like MutltJSY 7 litres.
Ok So today was supposed to be a nice day, So I took it upon my self to test my tank range just to see if my light was coming on early and if after a brew stop the gauge read the same as it did when I'd pulled up, I brimmed the tank and took this photo. Then went to the first burger bar Devils Bridge it read The Rang isn't totally accurate but hay ho. Any who I met up with a few mates and road around most of the day on various types of roads A,B and M roads My light came on at 130 miles coming up the M6 I stopped at one of the most expensive petrol stations in Cumbria after my last bar started flashing and my range meter went to 0 and started flashing. here's the photo after I filled her up again. This is how many ltr's I got in after the range flashed 0 171 miles to a full tank God know how my light kept coming on at 104, the only thing I can think of is that in an attempt to get as much fuel in for the range test I stud the bike upright to fill her and kept going until it was going to over flow.
19.2 litres = 4.22 imp gallons 171 miles = 40.5 MPG So 20 litre tank = 4.4 imp gallons giving a theoretical range of 178.2 miles. Reserve light came on at 130 miles which if you are getting 40.5 mpg means you have used 3.2 galls = 14.5 litres leaving 5.5 litres left in tank. So light on 5.5 litres left not too far away from book figure.
I was very surprised. I haven't been taking it easy today riding with a few sports bikes, plus I've been keeping her on the boil through the lanes, so would have thought I would have run out sooner.
Its actually the new Ducati sat nav that comes with a replacement bar clamp and the wiring plugs straight in, it's also pre programed with all the Ducati dealers, although for some reason when I took it for it's first service instead of taking me to DMC Moto in Preston it took me to a kebab shop in Preston instead. I popped in to ask if they did servicing on Ducati's? And they said no but we do extra hot chilli sauce and onions.
Still a Garmin Sat Nav. When I got my bike I ordered the Sat Nav mount as an optional extra from Ducati and mounted my Garmin 350LM onto it.
