1. Got the dealer to adjust the tickover and fuel economy has significantly improved, plus I now get little popping sounds during engine braking!

2. I've found out how to "address" the fuelling issue, by approaching the bike, nozzle in hand, from the front. I can then stuff it strait into the hole <narff narff> & fill-up without any spillage!!

Many thanks for the help!!
