Commuting is getting expensive...

OK, this brings up a question I have had for some time... How full is full? When I look down inside the filler, I see two chambers, one just below the larger diameter, the other just below the smaller diameter of the cap. The lower one is all black which I assume is the sealer. Do I fill all the way to the top most chamber or only to the top of the black colored chamber? I've been filling to the top-ish of the black chamber and since I don't have a user manual, and they have been removed from the web, I have never been able to check. I assume the black area is correct since I put around 2.7 or slightly more in the tank after the light comes on.

I go right to the top of the first chamber (to allow room to breathe). I don't think it hurts to go higher, but never really did that.

And I have also never been so low on fuel, that's why you see 3.437 gallons needed. I was running close apparently...

I broke the $20 barrier for the first time a while back, but my bike will go 200 miles before the light comes on. I don't have any pics of it.

For consistency I always fill up on sidestand till it starts to come over that lower ring.

If you fill the tank too much you will experience vapor lock which will cause the bike to stall out.




Huh? If I fill (any of) my Buells too much, it simply spills out of the overflow/vent hose...

And at the $4.00+ for premium I don't want to waste any on the ground!
