feul light stutter

[fizzer]

hi guys 186 miles today on my 05 gs and the feul light came on,saying i had 41 miles left in the tank,the second that feul light came on it developed a bit of a stutter/hesitation,feul station two miles away ,so i refilled hesitation now gone ,surely it should still run fine when on reserve,what do you think.

Tank doesn't strictly have a reserve. What you've got is a blob of floaty material on the end of a thin stiffish wire that rises and falls with the level of petrol in the tank. Blob and wire connected to a "sliding switch" thingy that lets the appropriate electronics know what the level of fuel is. Each and every bike will be slightly different (floatability of blob, bends in wire, way it's been bolted up).

You just have to get to know your own bike (in your case - light on - find garage quick). Or bend wire so you get more warning.

I think

You could of course have a litre or two of water in the bottom of the tank.
