Well, I fueled today for the first time since I saw this post. On my Street Glide I get off, slide card, grab the hose and push the premium button. Then I started to fuel from the right, but the bike is leaning away from me on the jiffy stand. (I have ALWAYS pulled up with the pump on my right side.)
So I walked around, and fueled from the left so I could see the filler hole better, it seemed better to hold the nozzle from that side too.
So, that is how I fuel my FLHX!

 

Oregon will let you pump your own bike gas, but not your car. I've never had anyone force me to let them (or at least try) and only once did an attendant ask if I wanted him to do it.
Oh, and I always sit on my bike and fuel. just always have, when I had my rice grinder, I had to keep it level to keep from it spilling down the side. so just habit with my Hog I guess.

 

I ride an '08 SG. I pull up with the pump on the left side and close enough to swipe my card and place the gas cap on top of the pump. Put the jiffy stand down and remain on the bike. I keep the bike level, the stand is down in case I need to get off of lean too far to the left. I get a full tank every time. I've never spilled or got a wet crotch. If the wife is with me she gets off the bike. On long rides, once I finish fueling, I will pull away and then get off of the bike.

 

I ride in Oregon alot and the attendant always swipes my card and hands me the pump, no problem. What hacks me off is a pump with one nozzle for all grades of fuel. If the last person pumped 87 octane and you select 91, you'll get 3 tenths of a gallon of 87 before the line is purged to 91. I drive tankers for chevron and asked a tech that had a pump torn apart while I was delivering. Should be a dedicated pump on the lot that despenses 91 octane only. Notice the diesel pumps are separate. Not an issue if you are nearly empty, however I ride off the beaten path and never know there the next fuel is so I tend to top off alot. Many rural areas only have diesel and 87 octane. But thats where some good desolete riding is.

 

I fill it up while off the bike. I figure that if i need that little bit of fuel I am in trouble

 

I generally try to pull up close enough to the pump so I don't have to get off the bike. I put the jiffy stand down, Just incase. Slide the card and pump with the bike sitting straight up.

 

+1 on that

 

Doubtful if the .3 gallons of 87 octane mixed in with 5 or 6 gallons of 91 octane would affect the performance of a Harley. Worst case scenario (highest % of 87) is if you fill the tank, ride 10 miles then top it off with .3 gallons of what is essentially 87 octane. Still essentially only 12% 87 octane.

I am surprised that there is over a quart of the previous octane left in the system. Good info.

 

I put it on the stand, get off, insert debit card and fill it up Standing on the left side of the bike.It always is on full when I leave.
