2012 CVO Streetglide smells of gas.
« on: March 12, 2012, 09:47:34 PM »

I barely have 300miles on her and after a ride and sitting in garage when I walk in it smells of gas real bad. After it cools or after a little while it quits. It's not full because I usually refuel before I ride and not after. Should I be worried?

My '10 does. I gas up at the end of the ride, so it's in the garage with a very full fuel tank. There was a thread on this some time ago.
It's annoying, but I've never had a problem.

Funny thing is that it never did it when I first picked it up with a full tank. But has done it ever since I personally fueled it the first time. I double checked the cap that it's tight and there are no leaks anywhere????

My gas cap leaked all over one day because it was tightened enough. Could also be the overflow when you fill up :orange: :bananarock:
