The low fuel warning light in the instrument cluster of my 2004 F650GS isn't working.
It's a 2004 bike with just 1800 miles on the clock. I'm the second owner and I've had the bike for about 4 years. I'm a fair weather biker and haven't used it much since 2015, when I last put fuel in the tank. I was riding for the first time this year earlier this week and ran out of fuel.
I've put 4l in the tank and I've checked for continuity with a multimeter across the pins of the tank sensor. The multimeter shows closed circuit so the light should be illuminated. I don't yet want to add more fuel to check if the sensor signal goes open circuit (light off).
Before I remove the fairing to gain access to the back of the instrument cluster to check the bulb, does anyone have a similar experience and/or pointers to fault diagnosis?
I'd appreciate any help and advice.
