You mean the pump has one of those collars that you have to hold out of the way in order to pump gas? If so, I hold it with one hand, keep the nozzle in about 1" wait for the pump to click off once then I pull it out to about 1/2" and give it another shot. If you put the nozzle completely in the tank you will not get anywhere near a full tank of fuel.

On occasion I will leave the key on, spyder not running, & watch the gas gage.

Your owner's manual won't steer you wrong; read it.

otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Listen up!
You can hear when it gets close to the top. I pull it out a little and give it another buck or so.
Good luck and congrats.

That's what I plan to do. With that inner shield....you just cant see the gas level rising up. Thanks !

I read the manual...it said nothing on how to fill the gas or how to tell when it was near full. I will just have to pull the nozzle out to check until I find out if monitoring the gauge is accurate. Thanks !

You will get the technique after 1 or 2 times filling the gas tank.

The fuel will come out the vent which tells you that you are almost there!

Here's what you do..!!
always fill your tank slowly. Filling fast tends to load up the evap canister. When you are at the stopping point it will bubble at the overflow slots. On the RS this will display all bars including top wedge. RS has a 6.6 gal tank with one of those gallons as reserve...

Now, that's quite a difference between ST and RT manuals. The OP have given you great advice about creeping up to the full point. FWIW, it took me a number of refills to reach the point where I was confident I was getting enough in the tank and still allowing adequate room for expansion. I am still working on achieving the consistency I want for accurate mpg computation. When the hooligan bug bites, WRATGAS!

I have an RS. Put gas nozzle in and then back it out till your almost all the way out 1/2 inch at most. Fill up, it wont spill over it will spit a little when you get close to the top. I also rock my spyder, using the handle bars during the fill. You should get a full fill up this way. Also don't fill all the way if your not going on a ride. I heard it and read it someplace that you don't want to over fill.

first fuel
Ifyou go out to Jacks across from the Chevron Station next to the Honda Dealer you can get non Ethanol added fuel for your Spyder I'm not sure how many stations carry it in Albany as we use the Knot Hole in Lebanon .
