I bought my first motorcycle a few days ago (will post the promised pics soon!) but I noticed that the nozzle of the fuel station goes quite deep into the tank, so if it shuts off automatically, my tank is only half full.
From cars I know you shouldn’t fill up further after it automatically shuts off, but they don’t have this issue, so…
The question is, how do I know how much fuel I can put in the tank, without damaging anything (short or long term)?
Edit: thanks for the responses, since the bike is more than 20 years old, I don’t haave the manual. But just filling it up as full as possible while the lid can still close comfortably seems to work just fine
Yep, my old Honda bike was the same. Little ridge at the top of the tank indicating the “full” line. Don’t overfill!
Also, keep in mind that the bike only holds 2-3 gallons normally, so be careful because it can fill up faster than you might expect if you’re comparing to a car refueling. It’s more like refilling a lawn mower.
