I try and get every drop I can in the tank. I put the stand down but stay on the bike with it straddled between my legs. Why do I put the stand down you might ask, well one time I made the mistake of thinking I had the stand down when I actually didnt, good job I caught it before it hit the ground! Anyway I put the nozel in just under the lip in the tank and take my time filling it right to the top. I have spoken!

 

Agree! Pull the skin back and don't put the nozzle all the way in the tank b/c some pumps have a meter when the gas reaches the nozzle, it stops pumping.

 

05Tribal has it down.

 

looks like somone has been watching too much WE - that stuff can really mess w/your head chief !

 

In Calif. at least, it is called the bellows. It forms a seal to allow the vapors to return to the underground tank. Pull that back with one hand to finish topping off your tank. Be careful though when putting the nozzle in your tank with the bellows retracted as the system could be faulty and could have gas inside the bellows and hose from the previous customer. When the bellows is retracted, it opens up a valve to allow the vapors/gas to return to the below ground tank. Since our bikes are higher then a cars gas cap we may not have that problem.

 

If you are going to complain about little things like this you do not deserve to own a bike. just playin but noone stands there and laughs at you and says "look at the dumby filling up his crotch rocket ha ha" im sure they are just dreaming of having one....
