Default F4 fuel

I'm new to riding and my bike does not have a fuel guage.
I was wondering from other F4 riders, does our bike have a reserve tank? if so, where is the on/off switch? how much fuel do you have left, or how many km's approx are left in the tank once the Low Fuel Light comes on?
I'm aware that it'll vary from person to person based on how they drive, but i'm just lookin for an approximate figure....

Thanks

Your low fuel indicator light should come on w/a little more than .5 gal in the tank [can vary from .5 - .7]. Consider that your "reserve". So take your mpg & count half of that...that is basically what you have left b/f you run out.

The only time you should have to turn off your petcock is when you are doing maintenance & don't want fuel to go everywhere.

Here's a few threads that may also be helpful...
