[ST] RS Fuel Warning Light - Comments please

["Sprint RS" <sprintrs@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I recently purchased a 955i  2001 RS on a 2003 plate with only 3,900 miles on the clock.

As it had been standing in a warm, dry garage for some 18 months and had only done 50 miles during that
time I knew that I was in for a new battery and had to be careful about going too quickly too soon.

I have noticed that the fuel warning light often comes on for no apparent reason, i.e. plenty of
petrol in the tank.  When I rode for the first couple of days I noticed that the fuel pump that sits
in the petrol tank "whines and grumbled".  That seems to have stopped mostly although 6 seconds after
turning the ignition on, whether the engine is running or not the low fuel light usually come on.

So, guessing - does the EMU turn the low fuel light on if the pressure in the fuel injection system is low
or dodgy ?  The 'bike seems to ride fine, almost as lively as my previous 955i Speed Triple.

cheers   Pete
