Overfilled the tank and stalled out

[refined insanity]

overfilled my tank and stalled out within minutes. havent had any problems before now. Ive siphoned out half a gallon but still wont start. may need to evaporate more before it runs again.

Anybody have this problem before?

That doesn't sound quite right to me. Why would over filling the tank cause fuel starvation?

Does it start and run if the gas cap is open?

 

[refined insanity]

No. Though I did find a few threads where people had the same problem.

Gas pump Auto shut off failed on me and I overflowed the tank. on my R3GT. I had no performance issues after.

i can not see overfilling the tank cause a lean problem
Now if the late models are like the older ones then it may be possible if the water vent hole was plugged then gas being forced out of the cap would be sucked into the evap canister and into the engine causing flooding.
The evap sys is suppose to only handle vapors

do you know how to resolve the problem if it did suck into the evap canister? that is what appears to have happened

My experience is with the older models and i think that the new ones are the same so
There is something that might help if it was flooded it is called something like clear flood mode..
After ignition on ect you hold the throttle wide open while cranking (this will send a signal to the ecu to stop the injectors from activating and stop the gas from going into the cylinder
This should clear the cylinders and if it does then when you release the throttle it will rev (about 4000 rpms) so be prepare for a shock.
May also run bad till that gas gets out of the evap canister.
Hope this helps merry Christmas

Short term, start it up and hold the throttle open until it clears, it doesn't take long.

Long term, remove the emission stuff which will include the evap canister. As a bonus it will open up a pretty nice spot behind the LH side cover.

REMOVAL of EVAPORATIVE LOSS CANISTER

I wish to remove the canister under the left side cover to make room for a Stebel Nautilus Horn. I found a wad of hoses connected to the canister and wish to be sure I remove, plug or reroute the correct tubes. Has anyone else done this on a Roadster that would be willing to provide me some...

Emission removal

Yes, my 2013 R3T had emissions on it. If I put just a tiny too much fuel in it and it overflowed into the canister it would barely run as it tried to put the fuel back into the throttle bodies. It would sometimes happen if I fueled in the AM and then the bike sat at work all day and the fuel...
