I smelled a bit of gas oder after startup last night. I thought it was just a bit of flooding. Then as i was riding i smelled some. I see no leaks and see no dripping on the pavement where I park. Does anyone have any idea what it maybe or what I can check?
Thanks

check the fuel pump weep hole, that is what caused it for me.

Check fuel cap seal, check fuel lines. Tony:waving:

Same here My fuel pump was wet at the weep hole under the back side of the pump. It took off the cover and the diaphragm was all cracked and brittle. I bought a new one and the garage doesn't smell of gas any more. Then while riding with shorts on one day I felt something wet on my ankle, No the dog was not by me.. at times while stopped. The fuel line had a pin hole in it an such a small steam of gas was coming out I only noticed it when the sun glistened off the gas stream I would have never noticed.
