X2. Never use the auto shut-off when filling a MC. NEVER. Only an inexperienced rider would do that.
I guess my 23+ years and 300K+ miles across North America and Europe makes me an inexperienced rider. Do I use the auto shut off when filling my bike? Yes. Do I top off the tank on my bike? Yes. Do I walk away from my bike while pumping gas? No, I stand there beside my bike until the the auto shut off clicks, then I top it off.
Oh, the humanity!
BTW, I don't turn off the propane either. Stay far away from me at the pumps.
So you stick the gas nozzle in your bike tank and start filling and simply trust that the auto-shut off is going to work properly when it's full? You must spill a lot of gas on your tank and down onto your engine.
Nope. Never have. NEVER. If you can't properly insert a nozzle into your tank, maybe it is YOU who has issues.
How some people can turn a simple task as filling a gas tank into a complicated process that needs a checklist and gubment oversight, I'll never know.
Gubment oversight? Huh? Sorry I'm not a perfect pump operator like you, but the pumps I have used will spill gas all over your bike if you're not careful. If you've ridden 300k miles and all that time simply put the nozzle in your motorcycle gas tank and just stood back and waited for the auto shut off to tell it's full and never spilled a drop of gas in all that time, then you are the only one in the Country ever to do so and you should be given an award to recognize your skills.
