Default 690 Duke - Fuel Gauge?

OK, here's a real dumb question but have to ask because it has to be so basic. Does the instrument panel have a fuel gauge or fuel meter? I think it would be easy to confuse with the temperature gauge. I've searched the manual and see no mention of a fuel gauge. Am I missing something?

No fuel gauge, just a warning light. One time I went 28 miles with the warning light on before I filled up. Last week I went 16 miles with the warning light on and I ran out of gas on the highway. Best to fill it up before then.

Default O k ?

Wow, even my dad's 1928 Model A Ford had a fuel guage. I'd like to talk to the KTM designer who made that decision! I think this is frackin' STUPID. I guess I'll have to engage my telepathic "runnin' on empty" sensor. Love the bike however...
