Hi Matt,
I've also got the EFI BA and you're right the manual does say that running out of fuel can damage the cat. I did a bit of a search and other manufacturers of other vehicles do state the same. I also read that repeatedly running out of fuel may lead to failure of a cat so I think Triumph are probably overstating the case to cover their rear. I've had the fuel tank off, there are some quick release fuel pipe connectors that took me a while to figure out and there is a large access panel under the tank to get to the pump.
I know of at least one person who has run out when the warning light failed and the bike seems OK.
The same guy gave me the heads up about the light failure on the same day that mine also failed. The warning lights in the speedo and the speedo and tach illumination lamps run off the same 5amp fuse that feeds the accessory-lightbar connector under the tank. If you fit a lightbar upgrade that fuse to 10amp as advised by two dealers and you'll be OK.
John
