Before any smart asses make jokes, yes the gas goes away from riding it...lol
Here is my issue. I fill my tank from a gas can... don't ask why... I just do. What is happening is I fill to the top, enough gas to cover the plate in the gas tank.... then when i'm done i watch it and it slowly drops about 1/2" down then stops. So i add some more gas.... it drops again then stops. did this a few more times.... keeps doing it. Where the heck is it going? No leaks, no puddles, it's just vanishing. same 1/2" drop every time.

You must have gotten the magic gas tank model.

I know right. It's perplexing.

where are your overflow hoses coming out to? are they in your lower fairing?

the only hoses i see are the crank case breather and a black one. neither are dripping tho.

Think i'm gonna call Honda and see what they say.

when i fill mine up at the pump...it sits there at the same level and doesnt drop any

how high do u fill? I was putting enough in to totally cover the triangle bar and the round plate.

Ok this thread seems pretty silly, but I have experienced this to some degree. First of all I am sure there is some reason for the silly design but I am not pleased that tiny gas particles fly all over the tank when I fill up. I think the gas shows over the metal plate due to all of the air bubbles the turbulence from the bar creates. It settles. Then another squeez of the nozzle and again air bubbles and turbulence, then settles, etc. Just a thought?

I fill from a can and pour very smoothly so I doubt it's air bubbles.

I decided not to fret it. My shop Helm Manual will be here prob by friday so i'll just look at the dissection to see if there are any overflow hoses, baffles, ect.
