Another vote for setting it on your seat. I've always done that and never forgotten one cap. Now on the other hand, i have tried to top off the tank too much and spewed gas all down the tank. Dangit!

Can anyone esplain this? Sorry dont mean to hi jack the thread.

Not real sure but I would think it has something to do with emissions & it is trying to keep it from getting on the ground. It also might be messing with a sensor of some sort. On a cage it would be in the EVAP system (charcoal canister filled with fuel) but am not sure if the motorcycle industry is subject to that. Hope it helps.
