    Default Gas smell after riding 2014 ST

    I know the gas smell have been addressed in the 2013 and below but not heard about the 2014's having this issue. I'm careful not to overfill my tank and most of the time it's a long ride home from the refill. When I stop I get the heavy gas smell. I've open the tank to see if it's boiling the fuel but didn't see any bubbles. I know you are saying gee why did he do that and yes I know had a senior moment. Has anyone had this happen to them on a '14 or know of any cures to this problem. This only started after a trip to the mountains of NC. Every one have a safe riding season.

    Thank you David for the information. I'll call my service dealer and see if I can have this done. Hate to miss bike week due to a smell.
