R1150R Tell Tail lights
Can anyone tell me what location the low fuel light is on the dash of an R1150R? I just purchased a used R1150R and when I pulled into my driveway with 175 miles on the odo the charge light came on, went for a short ride and it cycled through a few time then stayed on. Bike is charging @ 13.8V which is OK. Charged the Bat and light still on. Started researching and all the pictures show the low fuel light to be right below the right turn signal, mine is on the bottom right. The Battery light is below the right signal indicator. Put fuel in the tank and guess what, the charge light is off, I think someone pulled off the light bezels and forgot what went where. I just want a confirmation of the light arrangement, BTW, I do not have the owners manual or I would look there
Thanks.

The low fuel light, is just to the right of the neutral light, the charge light is just below the low fuel light .

Best solution would be to find a photo of the standard setup - anyone got one?
If the layout on the 'misbehaving' bike is correct - then it's a wiring issue.

The low fuel light is the yellow one on the top RHS. There is a petrol /gas station pump symbol imprinted on the lens.

47.8 is great! I've balanced the Throttle bodies, mine gets
about 35. Then I keep the rpms at 4,000.

Re: R1150R Tell Tail lights
Thanks for all your confirmations, the bezels were swapped. Now time to do a complete service on it and hit the road. I got this as a second bike to supplement my R1200GSA, my GSA may be relaxing in the garage a little more
