If it was close to what you should've put in a pretty much empty tank, all be good, otherwise you could possibly have a shed load of dodgy fuel sitting in the bottom - I had that on my last bike and it basically restricted my range on the reserve tank to about 10 miles from what should've been about 4 liters, ended up emptying out the tank and flushing some redex through it and voila, proper tank range was restoredIn the end I only put 19 litres in, there was probably room for one more but I do have to take it a bit slow once the filler neck is reached despite the extra bleed hole and the guy was waiting for me to finish so he could lock up the pump.
There's no reserve on the Fazer, of course, just an inaccessible litre or so below the level of the outlet. I'm pretty sure there's no water there, the throughtput of fresh fuel is high enough to keep it dry now they include ethanol in the mixture.
