Here is my own warning. Fill it as far as you want, I'd say within one half inch of the cap
UNLESS
You are on your way to park the bike, and it is hotter than 75 degrees outside and the bike will be sitting in the sun
OR
You are on your way to park the bike, and it is hotter than 90 degrees under the cover where the bike will be parked.
In other words, if you plan to ride it with it full for at least 1/4 of a gallon, you're fine filling it past the neck.

Near the fuel cap on my brand new C14 there is a warning not to fill the tank so that there is fuel in the filler neck.
Does this mean that I can not fill the tank to the point that the pump shuts itself off?
I always fill my tank while on the side stand , I had a bad experience where I overfilled a tank while on the center stand and set it on a side stand then fuel came thru the cap seal and covered the tank
