I sat on a '09 Bonnie today with the alloy wheels. In the speedo head there are two lights, one with an engine symbol and one with a fuel tank symbol.

So, there's a check engine light. Damn. I am so sick of looking at illuminated check engine lights on my cars that I dread the same on a Bonnie. But, with all the tech heads around here I am sure there will be many posts on how to disable the darn thing, in addition to cover-it-with-electrical-tape method. Or maybe the thing is actually important? Seems those usually indicate some emissions problem, but as we all yank the AI anyways what's the point?

And how does a low fuel light even work? With all the sloshing of fuel back and forth in the tank (when the bike is properly ridden), how does the sensor know if you're low or not? Or does it just light up when the injectors are fuel starved and indicate "you just ran out of fuel" instead of "you're gonna run out in a while"?

Any insight will be appreciated and enjoyed. But first in closing, I sat on the bike at Moto Primo south of Minneapolis which has all sorts of brands of bikes. Whether you prefer spokes or alloy, both flavors of Bonnie out-cooled about every other bike there.
