[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 881066, member: 3828"] And then, OTOH, I [I]never[/I] use the center stand for fill ups. I really wouldn't want to be bothered with that. Sometimes I will pull up close to the pump and sit on the bike while I fill it with it leaning on its sidestand. Sometimes I will intentionally park on the right side of the gas pump (pump to my left) a little further away, with enough space to dismount, and then fill the bike while standing. I have found that if I fill the bike on the side stand until the fuel is backing up the fill pipe, and then stand the bike straight up, I can't get any appreciable amount more fuel in the tank. Others seem to report differently, not sure why. Maybe regional differences in the pump shutoff devices or vapor recovery doo-dads? [/QUOTE]
