[QUOTE="bergmen, post: 1294557, member: 15189"] 1) I pull up with the pump on the right. 2) Lower side stand, hold front brake, dismount. 3) Put bike on center stand. 4) Move around to right side and fill tank. I find it easier to manipulate the pump handle and hose if I have both hands free and while standing next to the bike. 5) If anything happens (pump handle sticks, a minor spill, etc.) I can manage it much easier than if I am sitting on the bike. 6) I always take the opportunity to do a "walk-around" and make sure everything is in order (all luggage handles locked, nothing that needs attention). I may clean the mirrors and/or the windshield during this time. 7) I adjust what is necessary with my riding gear (gloves, jacket zippers, helmet, etc.). 8) Remount and take off. The only bike that I've owned that I filled on the side stand was my 1968 Harley-Davidson XLCH Sportster. It didn't have a center stand and with a 2 1/4 gallon tank it got filled in a few seconds.
