I sit on the bike with it on the side stand.

 

Motor Patrol officers are trained to mount and dismount on the right side so on a traffic stop they aren't getting off on the "traffic side". As for fueling, I always get off. And, since a issue once with the pump handle being left in the "locked on" position and my scoot getting a gasoline shower, I always place the nozzle in the tank opening first then start the pay at the pump routine of swiping the card and selecting the fuel type.

 

Roll up tight to the pump, put her on the side stand, lean over and swipe my card, and pump.

 

I usually have to get off to get my wallet out of the tourpak before fueling.

 

I've got a center stand on mine. I put it down and then get off and do the card thing. I stand while filling the tank.

 

I sit on mine when I refuel. I commute to work on my bike and I only get 3 days worth of fuel and I'm on fumes on the third day. I want as much fuel as possible in the tank and I can get more in when it is straight up/level.

Take care,
Dave

 

Road Kings, Softails, Dynas, have the cap on the right side. Glides (Street, Road, Electra) have the cap in the center under the console.

 

i've never fueled while sitting on the seat. i've had it splash out too many times and run down the tank. then you'd have a saturated pair of jeans, looking for an opportunity to catch on fire???? i cannot imagine anyone fueling while sitting on their bike for that exact reason.

 

Always fill up off the bike. Use my McCuff fill protector and it fills it right to the top. Tried filling while sitting on it once and felt weird.
