I've been riding 45 years.
NEVER use a gas gauge. ALWAYS use mileage from the trip odometer.
When you receive a new bike, fill the gas (normally) and reset trip odometer.
Ride normally under all conditions until the fuel light comes on. Not mileage ridden.
This becomes your base line for pulling into the petrol station.
So, in simple math, if you fill, up and the light comes on at 200 miles, then when you hit 50 miles you will have used 1/4 of the tank. This is the most reliable method. What ever the number is just divide by 4 and keep this number in your head as you periodically check the odometer.
