Jammer maar dis seker al voorheen bepreek maar kan iemand my dalk inlig hoekom die tank van my 2008 GSA slegs tussen 25-30 liter vat as hy leeg geloop het en die kapasiteit as 33 liter aangedui word.

Het hy die "gaatjie-mod"? Gat wat geboor is reg langs die filler bek, die ekstra 3l of so maak die 'cavity' vol wat eintlik as 'n 'expansion buffer' daar is.

sella hier. ek het my bike leeg gery een keer voor ek het die "gaatjie-mod" gedoen. Hy het 31 liter gevat ... nog nie leeg gery met die mod nie.

Ek het hom leeg gery tot hy gaan staan het en toe vat hy net 29l. Jammer ek moes die eintlik op die 12000GSA afdeling gepos het. Ek het het wel die "filler pyp" uitgehaal en kyk of ek daai mod kan doen maar hy is ongelukkig nie dieselfde as die GS of 1150 nie.

Please explain how I can do that mod to my bike's filler.

Miskien is ek 'n fool, maar wat gaan daai ekstra paar liters maak? - of is jy net te lui om meer gereeld pertol in te gooi? en dit is nie asof ons in n land bly waar die petrol stasies 500km uit mekaar is nie?

Put a cloth into the filler neck to stop swarf dropping into the tank, undo the allen bolts holding the filler cap to the tank, lift out the neck about 40mm careful not to dislodge any pipes, drill a 3mm hole in the side of the neck it will allow the tank to vent higher, put it all back again its quite easy.
BUT, if you fill it full, full, you must ride off again or it will expand in the sun and piss fuel out the overflow, mine is worst with a black tank

yip that easy.
I usually fill up before going to work ... nice 40km ride and then a parking bay in the shade ....
I can imagine that black bike attracts alot of sun

Just remember, an electric drill makes sparks at the back where the brushes of the motor sits. dont burn down your bike!!!!
