Researched the threads on what may be causing a gasoline smell after a ride but hope that this one clue may narrow it down: it only seems to happen with a full tank. I went for a ride the other day and filled up about a mile from the house - major smell afterwards. It hadn't been there in the days before even after a ride that didn't include a stop at ARCO.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Re: Gas Smell But...
Are you seeing any fuel on the ground ? Is it a Cal model ? Are the carb float drain screws leaking ? What have you removed so far as to visually inspect the fuel system or the top of the tank ? What if any work has been done to this bike ? Time to take the seats off and the faux tank cover and look it over.

Re: Gas Smell But...
I had this problem the other day. Found it finally it was the main supply like from the tank up to the carbs. It had slipped off a bit and was dripping gas. Pain in the backside to get to but was able to reattach it firmly with long needle nose pliers.
