I doubt its the light.... im not 100% sure but I believe theres a separate sensor for the fuel light, as even when my gauge is far below E, the light still does not come on.

This may require a 5 gallon gas can and a nice long drive on E to confirm.... but its hard to verify just how low the fuel really is in the pick-up side of the tank because of the venturi effect fuel transfer from the other side of the saddle.
