Hi all!

I mentioned on one of the threads there is a slight problem when pumping gas.

Usually there is a FULL hole in the gas thanks, so the pump nozzle can get in all the way. It's not the case with our bikes. There is a bar in the middle of the hole where the nozzle would go through...

Anyone have any thoughts on this. I had to pump gas in a none common way. I have to manually lift the accordion from the nozzle for the sensor to pump my some gas, LOL!

aerostich sells an aluminum plate with a notch for the nozzle pipe to go through for that problem, I am not sure if it will work with cbr dimensions.

I thought that was lame too having to hold the nozzel back....but no big deal. After all its just 2-3 gallons we're putting in.

By the way, where do you guys put the gas cap when you take it off? Lol! Do we get a gas cap holder?

Thank goodness we don't have those kind of gas pumps around here just the standard metal nozzles

Pumped gas today, had to hold up the accordion nozzle, lol!

So, this is what it feels like to be uncircumsized?

LOL!!! NICE!!!

By the way, can someone answer this question... Where do you put your Gas Cap?

 

[justintime]

When filling a bike I typically set the cap on top of the pump. Grab it when you put the nosel back on the pump.

one nice thing about the vtx 1300, has nothing to do with riding. You gas up, it takes the key to open the gas cap, and you can not remove the key from the gas cap until the cap is back on the tank. So it is idiot proof, I never once forgot the gas cap.

Ah, that's so good! So it just flips up I assume?

 

[Brian]

No, it removes. But if you dont put it back in the tank and remove the key, you cant start the motor. The key will not come out of the cap until the cap is installed in the tank and locked again.

The same thing goes for the CBR 250

I put my petrol cap on top of the petrol pump while filling. I also angle the pump to the side to miss the metal bridge. One good thing is that no one can siphon your tank as easily.

 

[mellow]

dont they need a key to get into your tank in the first place?lol

 

[pgkool]

Yeh that dam metal piece in the middle makes it super awkward to fill up gas, i had to hold the nozzle with two hands as to not scratch my tank. Also it makes for a little spraying out if you fill at full force. :/

I just put the cap on the floor in front of the pump.

As far as that little bar, I just gas slowly so it doesn't splatter on the tank, thats annoying.

But a good idea for the gas cap is to carry a clean rag with you or grab one of the paper towels they have (for washing your windshield) so it doesn't get any dirt stuck to it and setting it on the ground or right on top of the pump.
