That is the first new Rocket to try the dark side :D
 
I filled up last weekend and wasn’t paying attention and it overfilled and poured gas all over the right side. Scary moment. Normally the vapor cut off on the pump works just fine...

Since I got the bike I found that the pump cut off never works before fuel is sprayed all over the place. I think it is because of the plate that is just below the filler neck. I normally watch the fill very carefully and stop as soon as I see the first drops starting to spit out. Mind you in one case in Killarney I was watching it so closely that I sprayed my face because the hose was too close to that flat plate.
 
Yes, that flat plate is definitely problematic and seems to prevent the pump's auto-shutoff from working as intended. I definitely baby the bike at fill-ups like I never have with any other bike.
