Open your fuel cap,
Look for the tiny wee hole down the neck on the right hand side (I think).
Find a tool that you can ease it open, I used a pointed bit of metal, (called an awl or something) small screwdriver would do too I guess.
Then just ease open the hole till your happy with the size

I wouldn't drill it due to fumes/ spark etc and also maybe swarf going into your petrol tank, there has been suggested ways on this forum from using a cocktail umbrella to catch the swarf etc but it's fairly easy to open the way I done it as the metal isn't that strong tbh.
Only thing you have to do is once it's full, KEEP IT upright till you do x number of miles, as if you just use the side stand, the overfill will drain all your extra fuel you've put in :eek
As said earlier, I can get about 250 miles just tootling to work and back or about 210 miles with a heavy throttle :lol
Hope this helps you
