The less the better!!! I just keep pouring it in. It's the main vice in my life. If the worlds oil is going to run out , i want to die knowing i had my fair share.
Once upon a time, in the darkest, deep night in torrential rain in the middle of nowhere in France on the way to the Bol, I managed 47 miles on my 748SP with the fuel warning light on. I can tell you I was worried and doubly relieved to when I came across an open fuel station on the autoroute.

general riding, maybe a motorway stretch, my 748 always does 140/150 before the light comes on. My mate's ZX6RR used 25% more fuel when we went to Italy, he was getting well fed up!
I'm glad my fuel light post has resurfaced 'cos the week before last I decided I was going to run it until it died just to see if the light was accurate (I'd drained the tank the week before so no crud/water contamination worries). The light came on at 84 miles, but the bike managed 124 miles before it gave up the ghost, literally free-wheeling up to the pumps (some timing that was!).
Since then, the light has started to come on at 95 (ish) miles, so it seems the experiment might have re-set something in the system.
