I've started getting a fairly strong smell of gas fumes from my bike, I don't see any leaks anywhere, I don't have a clue where or why that is, any ideas?
double checked the gas cap yesterday, it"s Fuel injected and no mods done to the intake.mxvin said:make sure the gas cap is sealing good. Is your bike FI or carb. If its carb make sure it is not overflowing which could indicate a float level issue.
Any other mods to the intake?? A rich running bike could put off some gas oder??
The gas cap mod was to make sure you didn't lose the key hole coversfalexi said:I have an 05 C50 and get that same smell every now and then. Maybe if we do the "gas cap mod" (you can search it), it'll help? I think I remember that dealing with the cap losing gas vapors. That's the only thing I can think of.

Guess I'll have to watch it a while and see if it comes and goes, not sure yet.Air4ceOne said:Is it a sometimes smell or all the time smell? I have a sometimes smell on my '07. Posted about it last summer (since that's pretty much the only time I smell it). Was told that's normal, just some fumes escaping. Kinda like a gas tank fart or something.
My bike is a 2007 and it does the same thing . Am not too concerned as it does it once in awhileTampaBlues said:I've started getting a fairly strong smell of gas fumes from my bike, I don't see any leaks anywhere, I don't have a clue where or why that is, any ideas?
I have the same thing on my 05 and I attribute it to the gas tank "farting". The cap is vented............Air4ceOne said:Is it a sometimes smell or all the time smell?

My '05 occasionally emits a gassy odor, usually after I've fueled it, or after I've eaten at a Mexican Restaurant. :biglaugh:TampaBlues said:I've started getting a fairly strong smell of gas fumes from my bike, I don't see any leaks anywhere, I don't have a clue where or why that is, any ideas?

BigSlick said:I just had my 08 C50T to the dealers for service. I mentioned I had the same problem, a strong smell of raw gas at different times. THey checked and told me the seal on my gas cap was bad and they were ordering me a new gas cap. They said warm weather, or even sloshing the gas around while riding makes the fumes well up past the gas cap seal if its not good. They also cautioned me against filling tank past the bottom of the tube inside the tank.
Happy riding yeah spring has sprung
