How to keep bike from spiling gas when on its side?

If I lay my bike down it leaks gas all over the place. Not bad its just drips out alot. Any way to get it to stop this crap?

Put less gas in : Thats the simplest answer. I fill mine to just over the metal bottom.

Go down to the dealership and get yourself another rubber gasket that sit's underneath the gas cap. I had the same problem on my 954 took another gasket put it on and tightened down the screws no more leaks
