Do NOT fill the bike upright. If it give you a little more space for gas, what happens with you put it back on the stand, the gas come out the vent and all down your bike onto the hot engine and/or electrical connections. It is absolutely possible to torch your bike doing this.

Of course, most people get by without a problem but it's not worth the risk IMHO.
