fuel levels

[Fairlane 71]

Hi guys. I've just got hold of a 1990 ZZR 1100. Can someone enlighten me on the operation of the 2 fuel lights. I can't see a reserve fuel tap anywhere. Cheers Grant

If it is the same as the early zzr600 the two fuel lights are the reserve warning and they work as one. Some sort of redundancy if a bulb blows I suppose.

Thanks, any idea how much fuel is left once these lights come on ?

No. Kawasaki fuel level indicators are a bit hit and miss. I usually drain the tank and then refill it a bit at a time to find the reserve level - or if I get lucky it hits reserve as I arrive home and then its just a matter of emptying it into a measuring cup. Usually 4 litres, but one of our 1100Ds had 7 litres left when we turned the tap over.
