OOG (out of gas) is a possibility, given my tendency to slip through alternate universes. It may be that the guy before me who maintained this bike in this universe fuels it at different intervals than I do.
Are you sure that you, yourself, are not actually a Jack Chalker character?
Another FWIW: My 2004 EVT Hydro, the low fuel light comes on at about 3 to 3.04 gallons used (with freeway riding, goes out off the freeway on the streets, but comes back on a mile or so later).
Actually, please see the comment above regarding "strapped for cash". And I've not heard anybody speak lovingly of the warning light. I will act on your advice regarding the strainer, the tank and filter though - thank you.
30mpg? A faulty or poorly connected engine temperature sensor will do that.
