Well heck, fill it now and you'll know going forward.
Kinda late to find out & specious of course, but I wonder if your replacement fuel pump has an impact on how low you can run the tank.
Topping off from a gas can doesn't tell me how much I added.....and that replacement pump has been in there for 6 yrs or more. Maybe 7?
These days I make the fewest fuel stops possible, with my mask on. Fill the truck or car and gas can at the same time. Haven't used a filling station to fill my scooter in months.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Always use pay at pump option with laytex gloves. Works for me.

My GV holds 9.54 quarts (9.0L) I filled with two bars on the gauge.  It took 6 quarts (5.68L) to fill. With two bars I had 3.54 quarts (3.27L) left in the tank.  The GV still uses a carburetor and mechanical fuel pump.

I try not to run to low because the electric fuel pump for FI engines use the gasoline for cooling of the pump.  The 250 Xciting's are FI.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

I have a 1.25 gallon tank mounted to the rack for standard daily usage. I use the 2.5 gallon for 200+ mile trips.
