I had the same experience when I first got the bike. I had 1 bar left and could only get 13 litres in. The next time I went onto 1 bar I filled further up the nozzle and got 15 litres in. On a long run I let it go on the last bar for about 25 miles and then the bar and the icon started flashing (odometer read 230 miles but I had been giving it some on the motorway) - I think at this point you have 7 litres reserve. When I pulled into the garage to fill up I got 16 litres in! So if you let it run until the guage starts flashing I estimate that you have about 80+ miles to go.
