Any of you having the same problem or any of you might know the cause? Thanks in advance Steve, I think I noticed that when I had the Power Commander III USB installed on my bike. It went away after I removed it. Are you running an aftermarket fuel module? Is your AIS removed or disabled? Are your O2 sensors hooked up?

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1828 Re:Is this normal, 1 Year, 2 Months ago   If your engine is really hot and the tank is vented that could be the smell is coming from. Just a random thought.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #358410 texasscott1 (User) Two of a kind Platinum Boarder Posts: 1824 Re:Is this normal, 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Mine does the same thing unless I fill it up before I get home. The engine heats the tank after shutdown and the fumes can get pretty strong. The cooler gas from filling up seems to help. Shine a bright enough light so the vent below the bike causes a shadow and you'll be able to see the fumes. I think I can see the shadow of the vent in your picture. Park a hot bike with the sun angled like that and you should be able to see the shadows caused by the fumes.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/03/26 19:46 By texasscott1.   My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #358415 bikersteve (User) Steve Platinum Boarder Posts: 1271 Re:Is this normal, 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Thanks again, for all the info.   Logged     ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL   The administrator has disabled public write access.
