Best advice is already stated above, trigger control and know the gas station. There is one station locally that I love to fill my truck up because to comes out like a fire hose. Can't do that with the bike.

 

I take mine to the dealer for gas so my warranty isn't voided.

 

I knew I'd probably get a reply or two like this and most of the time I would agree. There are just some pumps that you can't control finely enough to get a trickle. Once I held the nozzle just outside the tank, squeezed as gently as I could and splat.

Thank you all for your great suggestions and sorry to repeat old stuff. Next time I'll do a search first.

 

You need to educate yourself, your dealer is screwing you. There is no reason you have to use HD gas and keep your warranty. I only use Amsoil Synthetic gas. ;-)

 

 

I would never stick a nozzle on the tank , lock it in and let it pump, I figure if I can ride 700lbs of bike I can stand there and hold the pump handle and squeeze in the gas until its full. Better that than trying to wipe gas off the paint or clothes. Always use paper towels to cover the nozzle going to and from the tank , I cant stand drips.

 

Your dealers have gas stations???

 

That's very true. But you should know that about the pump BEFORE you get 2.9 gallons poured in to it!

As soon as you start pumping on an unknown pump try it out to see how sensitive it is while the tank is closer to empty and there is more room to compensate should the nozzle spew gas too fast.

Don't wait until your at the top of your tank to figure out the pump!!!!



Jeez common sense!!!

 

Yeah, they are out back with the Harley air for your tires.

 

I had lunch at a Taco Bell yesterday...I think it gave me synthetic gas too.

Oops, sorry...off topic.
