2nd gen SV fuel strategy

Does anyone know how much fuel is left in the tank of an 03 SV650 when the fuel light comes on, or conversely how much you add to top it off again. Any estimations of fuel mileage under race conditions? I'm running my first endurance race this weekend and just trying to plan out the pit stops a little better. Thanks.

the 03 only has one sensor which tells you when the fuel left < 1 gallon.

not sure about the mileage. someone will chime in.

 

somewhere 'round a gallon, somewhere round 3.2 gallons. somewhere between 19-21mpg.

 

Thanks.

IT ALSO HAS ALOT TO DO WITH THE RIDER
IF YOUr FAST RIDER 19-21mpg if you not than 20-25mph

 

but the light blinks when you aren't completely screwed and then goes solid when you are. If the track is less than 2miles long if it goes solid just as you pass your pits, you can make it to the pits the next time around.

 

Also the track. Fuel mileage at Nelson isn't the same as at BeaveRun.

 

I made it about 13 and half laps at Nelson after the light came on in practice. Some corner worker on the back straight was nice enough to give me a little gas to get back to the pits.

 

do you guys think think this can apply to an 06 R6 as well?
should I count on a 15mpg average, at willows?
on a 4.5 gallon fuel tanks, that only about 67 miles between fill ups!!
