There were several generations of the sender so the failure mode
would depend on which generation your bike has.
There is one other option other than counting mileage... it's called
running out of gas.

I bought my bike last August, and just last month the fuel gauge
quit working. After studying the archives, it looks like I am
having the same problem people were eight years ago who bought
these things new. I took out the fuel sending unit and cleaned it
up, but I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what it was about
these parts that made them fail. Also, is there an option other
than counting mileage between trips to the gas station before I
spend $100 on a $10 part.
