Gas Leak When Hot 2 Years, 7 Months ago

I have a 2004 Roadstar. I have learned the hard way that when it is extremely hot it will leak gas out of the cylinder head after I have turned it off and try to start it again. I asked my dealer about it and he said they were aware of this problem and so was Yamaha. Apparently, according to the dealer, there is some kind of sensor between the carb and the cyclinder. Have any of you experienced this and if so what can I do to fix it ?
