To the bottom of the neck tube, unless it's a cooler day and I'm going on a long ride then I'll fill 'er right up and pack it down with my boot

If you stand the bike upright and give it a bit of wiggle when its full...its amazing how much more fuel you can stuff in.
More fuel = better fuel economy.......Not!!!

Cool. The temptation is always there to cram every little bit in and I was wondering if if I should feel bad about it.
Oh, and then I go fill the tank...
Heh!
Good to know. Thanks!

When you got a range of about 200km every drop counts

I can get an extra 1ltr in past the full marker which makes for another 15k's on the road

To the filler neck, then about halfway up the neck. But then my range is far more then 200km

When it dribbles out on the ground through the drain hose it's too full

The noise of it dribbling on the ground is the too full indicator warning sound, you need to back off when you hear it
