Same here. I also use my ZUMO to see where stations are if I'm in an area I'm not familiar with.

On a trip with the 07 RG it's when I have about .3 gal left. Never ran out of gas yet, but come very close while riding out west!

Like the rest have said it depends on where you are. But with mine I usually will fill it up before the idiot light comes on.
