Not sure if this is prudent or not but I fill up from the right side of the bike. Never an issue. I wonder if the angle of the nozzle is somehow the issue. My two cents...
You mean you are standing on the right side, so nozzle points to left, or nozzle pointing to the right inside tank?

I am standing on the right side of the motorcycle, nozzle points to the left.

Well I’m not help here since I have not had this issue. Stick it in the hole and squirt.

Are we still talking about the petrol tank?

I've had nonproblem with my 2 week old brand new 3R. I stand on the right side of the bike since it's easier and put the nozzle rigjt down on the metal. Then when I start hearing the almost full gurgling I stop since I don't trust the auto shut off to work with me pulling the foreskin of the nozzle back. (That's a California thing)
My tank shows full after that.

I am finding the refueling a bit annoying especially with the metal internal ring thing. My 955i doesn't have this "fixture" I am sure it serves a purpose but I don't know what that might be? To insert the pump nozzle? Anyway, I fill up about 3 gallons, or so and then top off the rest from jerrican and funnel when I get back home. No spills, perfectly filled everytime.

This is a thread just made for the in-house comedians..
The insert is a gusset that I believe also serves to prevent you filling with diesel by mistake. I haven't tried it but I suspect a diesel pump nozzle will not fit through the hole. Harleys have them too. I got used to it with the Harley I had before I came to the Rocket, though it took a bit of getting used to with a few splash-backs at first, and now I don't have any problems.
I fill up sat astride the bike. Put the pump nozzle just through the hole in the gusset (no jokes..) and fill with about half pressure.
