Just recently, the last 3 or 4 times Ive filled up the K5, gas seems to pour out from the top of the tank. I try to stop the tank when I think its full but it still overflows..any ideas?
 
Are you saying the gas comes back out the filler hole, or it's coming from the top of the tank, underneath the body?
 
It is overflowing from the top of the gas tank, not the filler. I always stop filling it once the overflow lever trips. I deff do not go to the the same gas station.
 
If it's coming from the top of the tank, you have something leaking. Since it is most noticable when filling with gas it is probably one of the rubber hoses connecting the tank to the filler assembly or the lines that run to the front. I definitely wouldn't wait too long to get it checked out.
 
Yep, probably split a rubber hose or the clamp broke...
