I have to disagree with the above. My gauge is good enough to rely on it. Let me explain.......
1) at the half way mark, it tells me that I have as much mileage left, until the fuel light, as I've just done on that tank.
2) the fuel light always comes on when the needle reaches the bottom of the red bit.
3) the fuel light always comes on when I've used 18 litres (4 UK gallons)
Having said that, I always reset the trip meter out of habit. Partly so that I can keep a check on mpg figures. Divide the mileage when the fuel light comes on by 4 = UKmpg.

IMO there's no such thing as an entirely accurate fuel gauge, car or bike. But my Tiger's gauge does the same thing every tank full. So, once you get used to it, you can tell how much fuel you've got left.
