Question
I have a question to the smart people here. Pre covid, I was filling up and noticed that when getting to the top of filling up I would get something like an big air bubble in the tank, (not sure how to explain). I have to nudge/shake the bike and then continue on fueling until full. I have a 15 Limited Low. Just weird that an air pocket would be created at every filling. I have tried different things with the nozzles but it keeps happening.
Not a big deal but more of a curiosity factor.
Thanks,

On the jiffy stand. Just weird before I could fill up to the plastic, serrated insert and no issues.

Do you hold the Rubber stopper back while filling or do you put the Nozzle and rubber stopper against the tank opening?
I notice on my 2013 RG Ultra If I fill the tank with the Nozzle and rubber stopper against the tank opening it gets a air gap/Bubble .
So I Fill my tank Standing with the Bike on it's stand, and hold the Rubber stopper back while filling, I have not had the air gap/Bubble problem filling this way.
