I have been filling my 650 up while still sitting on the bike, holding
it upright. I fill it up to about 1 inch below the rim. I have never
had gad leak out when I put it on the side stand, even right after
filling it up.

Yes, it's not a 2 way vent though. Allows air in, but fumes stay out.
If the vent gets blocked, well...

Do you know if '83 650 body parts will fit?
I have (what I think is) a '83 Nighthawk 650. Gas tank and both plastic
side panels are in good shape. Side panels in particular have no cracks and

Years ago I had a similar problem with my V45 Sabre, After riding 30-40 miles
on a hot day the bike wouldn't start. My mechanic diagnosed it as "vapor lock".
After waiting 30 minutes it was fine. Said the remedy was to fill tank only
2/3 full. I also noticed I rarely had the problem when I us
