Have you gone through a tank yet?
the 500's have a similar problem where the gauge stays on full for ages and then plummets when the bike's just about empty.
Having said that .. mine "seems" to be working now .. was on the last block when I filled up last night and took 12 litres of gas in the 15litre tank.
Some people are getting their sending unit's replaced, others, the whole tank.

my 06 works the same way. It reads full until about 1/2 tanks and drops fast. I think its due to the odd shape of the fule tank. More volume in the upper half than in the lower half. Your fule guage is one menat to be a referance IMO. I always open the tank and peak in during breaks.

Also helps to keep resetting your trip meter every time you fill. You'll quickly get a feel for how many miles you can go on a tank, and allow for if you're riding really hard or really easy. I'm averaging around 80km (50mi) on about 10 - 12litres of fuel with is rougly 3/4 of a tank. That's a mix of putting along a trail, and gassing it out of corners and up hills and such. Probably more hard riding than easy, but there you have it.

I experience the same exact thing w/my 2006 - SP 450. My cousin and
I bought our bikes on the same day, he has an 06' SP 800. We have been riding together
almost every occassion. We both joke about this problem. It would
be nice to see if someone would pin this down and fix the problem.
Its probably a SP Polaris feature like the Engine light on Ford vehicles?
Thanks,
