Burn off 2-3 gallons more. Then go to the gas station and put ONLY about 2 gallons in it. Report back if the problem repeats itself. If it DOES NOT, then do not assume you have figured it out. Burn off 2 gallons and then put 2 gallons in it again. Confirm you can duplicate the problem under a controlled condition. Then return and fill up the bike all the way and if the problem repeats itself, THEN you know where to start digging deep to find the problem.Another thought - after you have confirmed that the problem does not duplicate on partial filling of the tank, return to the gas station and start adding a 1/4 gallon of fuel to the tank and try to get the problem to repeat itself. Keep adding a quart until it happens. Take note of that level and use that as a gage to see what's happening with the venting system at that level.Of course, if the problem repeats itself at any point with a partial fill up, then at least we have eliminated that and now have to dig further into the issues described above.The bike is inherently so dog gone reliable, we are likely going to learn that this is something very simple. A piece of crap in the tank vent - like that simple.</blockquote>
