JackFlash Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 I'm literally staring at the tip of the fuel nozzle the whole time as it's filling up. That's good. Don't trust it to shut off on it's own. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Don't trust them sum bitches, Sam. I worked atmany gas stations in my early years. I've seenthem things not shut off and bathe the ground ingas. I hold the nozzle the whole time. Flip the nozzle over and look at the little hole underthe tip of it. If it stops getting air into it, it issupposed to shut off. If it's winter time and gaswill not pump, blow into the hole. It probably hasice in it.It's also a fire hazard to fuel the bike while sittingon it, in case you spill fuel on a hot engine, starta fire, jump off, bike falls over because the kickstandis still up, fuel flows out of the tank, and fire spreads.Spraying a fire extinguisher at your burning crotchmay be a little tricky, as well...My bike is on the stand the entire time.Quit looking up, chicken little.

PhilD'oh! Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 In the garage I put the bike in neutral, most other places I leave it in gear. It depends on the situation. Sometimes I start the bike while off the bike and gearing up, sometimes while I'm on it, putting on my gloves. It depends on the situation. I've fueled while sitting on the bike, but most of the time I do it off the bike because I need to "fold" the tank bag out of the way. Again, it depends on the situation. Sometimes I take my helmet off while having sex, sometimes I leave it on. It depends on the situation... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thst is pretty stupid. Is it part of the gas cap or the tank? I'd be pulling out the dremel.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Folks, that bar keeps you from hitting your fuel pump and fucking it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Seems unlikely...given the length of your average fuel pump and the depth of a gas tank...but I guess anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Clearly my nozzle is longer than yours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdubyah Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 speaking of pumping gas... Ever had one of the nozzles that required pressure to the tank to be able to pump?Basically there is a sleeve around the nozzle that is spring loaded. The sleeve has to retract for the nozzle to pump.I've never seen one in Ohio. I did however try to use one out in Las Vegas. It was a giant pain in the ass.

Bad324 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Folks, that bar keeps you from hitting your fuel pump and fucking it up. I guess being a Honda owner has its benefits and eitherA) The designers are smarter at Honda and don't put the pump in a place it can be damaged by a nozzleB) The designers at Honda feel their owners are far too smart to damage the pump with a nozzle Either way, I think Honda has it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was impossible to hit the fuel pump with even my extended length nozzle. Yet still they had one. Not sure why you folks are so intent on using the auto fill on a gas pump. God help you if it does not shut off and all that gas runs down on your hot engine and exhaust. I will be at the gas station across the street if you and I ever ride together and need gas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 oh...so you're saying they think less of their cruiser crowd than the sport inspired crowd? I missed the auto-fill on the bike argument and i agree its dumb. Then again my bike would only fill about 1.5 gallons before it shuts off anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the auto-fill on the bike argument and i agree its dumb. Then again my bike would only fill about 1.5 gallons before it shuts off anyhow I actually think it might be more of a 'fill to here' thing. I know on my two Kaw's that was what the manual said it was for. On the last one if you filled much beyond that bar as soon as you stood the bike up it would drain out the overflow tube anyway. The fill was far right...which would be higher up than when you pick it up and drive. Same with one in the center on the new bike, although the effect isn't as much.

kn1706 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I don't really have a preference for either category. I'll start my bike sitting on it, standing to the left, or to the right. Ill usually let it warm up for a couple minutes and put my gear on while it warms up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx3vfr Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Ninja start off the bike get on from the left and parked in neutral unless on large hillXR off the bike, because I has no strength in right leg to kick plus decompression mechanism is broken usually leave it in gear and rag clutch and kick to start.
