Hello,

this and pump keeps switching off each time.  Any advice would be
apprecited!
Thank you!

Hold the nozzle two inches below the filler opening, and watch for rising
levels yourself instead of the nozzle doing it for you as though you have a
cage.

The nozzle is designed for vapor recovery on an automobile when
stuffed into the filler neck.  Motorcycle tanks have no necks. To fill
completely you need to pull the runner boot back while filling.  Or
use one of these:

No gas station pump I know of deals with the vapor trap thing correctly;
I have to hold the foreskin back a bit so it hangs up on the edge of the
filler cover.


While we're on this, I'll toss my lit match into the conversation: You
do get off the bike to fill up, yes?

I don't when it's a pay-at-the-pump.
