There's a massive car race on here in Adelaide next week, and as it's a street circuit the roads are starting to get closed down which makes getting in & out of work harder.
Consequently I've been riding in a bit lately so I'm not sitting in traffic for an hour on what is usually a 25 min trip.
Yesterday on the way in, I noticed the 'low' light pop on my dash - however I didn't notice it until I pulled in the car park (was too busy concentrating on the traffic).
So when I headed home & thought 'well i need to fill up, but I'll wait til the servo closest to home cause the one nearest to work is hard to get in to/out of'.
Rode home with no problems, pulled in to the servo no problems, and put a bit over 11 litres in the tank.
I remember thinking 'wow it must have been REALLY low'.
Paid for the fuel, went to start the bike and....it wouldn't start lol!
Took me about 4 goes to get it going. Obviously i ran it RIGHT out (unintentionally) so when I went to restart there just wasn't enough fuel there to kick over.
When it did fire there were no problems but I was worried for a second lol.
Note to self - get fuel when the 'low' light comes on ASAP in the future!
