General word of advice- fill your gas tank by hand, don't trust the auto-stops on the gas pumps.
I was filling my baby up yesterday. Sometimes I do it by hand, other times I've clicked it on until it stops and then finish it off. This time I clicked it on the medium setting and let it go. I was watching it, and at one point turned to look at the reading on the pump and say 4.6 gallons. Just as I was thinking to myself "wow it's never taken that much before" , I heard the wonderful wooshing sound that tells you whatever container your filling is about to spill over and sure enough it did just as I turned back to the bike and dumped gas all over the tank and engine. I cleaned it off right away and when I got home I washed the bike really good. It doesn't seems to have hurt anything, paint on the tank is still fine thankfully. So just be on the safe side and fill it by hand!
