How full is full? When I look down inside the filler, I see two chambers, one just below the larger diameter, the other just below the smaller diameter of the cap. The lower one is all black which I assume is the sealer. Do I fill all the way to the top most chamber or only to the top of the black colored chamber? I've been filling to the top-ish of the black chamber and since I don't have a user manual, and they have been removed from the web, I have never been able to check. I assume the black area is correct since I put around 2.7 or slightly more in the tank after the light comes on.   984gasm Posted on Friday, June 10, 2011 - 11:04 am:        I go right to the top of the first chamber (to allow room to breathe). I don't think it hurts to go higher, but never really did that.   984gasm Posted on Friday, June 10, 2011 - 11:04 am:        And I have also never been so low on fuel, that's why you see 3.437 gallons needed. I was running close apparently...   Froggy Posted on Friday, June 10, 2011 - 11:18 am:        I broke the $20 barrier for the first time a while back, but my bike will go 200 miles before the light comes on. I don't have any pics of it. For consistency I always fill up on sidestand till it starts to come over that lower ring.   Andymnelson Posted on Friday, June 10, 2011 - 11:36 am:        quote: If you fill the tank too much you will experience vapor lock which will cause the bike to stall out. Huh? If I fill (any of) my Buells too much, it simply spills out of the overflow/vent hose...   Greg_e Posted on Friday, June 10, 2011 - 01:52 pm:        And at the $4.00+ for premium I don't want to waste any on the ground!
