Love stinks
« on: April 06, 2009, 10:14:16 PM »

Love my SERG, but has Any one experienced strong gasoline fumes filling the garage after a warm shut down? I have noticed this several times after the bike has had few hours of riding. It gets extreme if the motor is good and warm. I haven't noticed any leakage and cannot seem to find the source. It has some effect from the warm engine and gas tank expansion? :nixweiss:

I have had the same smell of fuel after a ride, But it does not do it all the time, So now I do not refuel before parking the bike, and it seems to help.   Doc

I've noticed it on the 08 but I haven't had the 09 long enough to have noticed it yet on it.  It is strong and I haven't been able to find any evidence of leaks anywhere.
