Ryker fuel filling - is it just me, or are they slow??
Is it me or are the Ryker fuel tanks a very slow job filling up I seem to get a couple of blowback when trying to fill up

Depends upon fill rate from the pump.
Some of my regular fuel stops had both fast and slow pumps.
I quickly learned not to use fast fill pumps.
Do you insert the nozzle fully into the neck?

thanks
maybe we have fast pumps over here but i did try to take it easy so I suppose more care is needed
I,m used to filling motorcycle tanks fast with no issues

Mine fills just fine.Probably the easiest bike that I have ever had to fill.

So far I've probably fueled up at around 15 different gas stations, allways using the auto shut off on the nozzle, no issues what so ever!

I'm more concerned about the rate that mine empties than I am about how fast it fills. I did a 325 mile group ride with some friends on Saturday and had to add fuel three times.

Takes some experimenting. I always use the handy dandy fill tube provided and hold the nozzle about a third of the way above the bottom of that. Works well most everywhere, and if I do get any blowback, it drains nicely - not sure where ... ;-}
Only real problem I've had is getting the gas cap off. It's got a typical click stop feature, but tends to be a PITA to loosen up if I do any more than one click. And thanx for the reminder - plan is to rub the mating edges with some silicone grease and see if that helps.

Mine is slow too. I insert the nozzle and cannot go full flow! Maybe 1/2 flow… but i dont care the tank is like 20liters I think so…

I didn't realize that we're supposed to use that filler spout every time we refuel. Personally, I haven't had any issues. I run the pump about half flow.

Not.

I've managed to get a small gusher or two even using the spout. At least there's no paint to eat off. I also got some dribbles down the outside of the tank until I figured it out. Not sure where those spills went, but I wasn't wearing any gas when I got home, so no worries, eh.

I stick the nozzle all the way in and do a fast fill until it auto stops from back pressure. After that I pull the nozzle almost out and do a slow fill until it tops off the tank.
I did come across a gas station once that didn't allow a slow fill. They got less of my money because I gave up trying to finish filling the tank.
