Gas tank fill
How far do you guys fill your tanks? I think the book on mine says 1" below the filler neck. Does that mean below the filler insert, or to the bottom of the insert? I generally fill mine to the bottom of the insert. Just wondering what you guys do.

The safe way is to fill the low side first, then the high side.

It has been my experience that if you fill the low side first that is when you get the overfill. (yeah i have done it)

I wasn't trying to correct you Graham, just agreeing with pjb. If I am going to go riding right after filling up I will fill it as much as possible. I have a habit of filling my tank when I go home and park. Then I leave a little room in the tank .
