Gas evaporates quickly check about 10 min after a ride under where the hose is at or put a paper towel under it. I am betting if you get a decent smell you are dripping.:thumbup: I have a mat I park on that stains from gas drips got lots of stains.

Lots of fumes but no drips. Yep, I was watching cause I expected dripping from the quantity of fumes I was getting.

Once again if you are getting fumes put a paper towel under the hose. The drips evaporate quickly but a paper towel will still leave a mark on it. :thumbup:

When new, major gas smell. Now, minor gas smell sometimes. Never "seen" and fuel drips.

Haven't ridden since around Thanksgiving no drips then. But in the summertime I had a few drips on my driveway after a ride. Had to park it outside due to gas fumes. When I was in for service in Sept or Oct. The dealer smelled the gas fumes after he had done my recall a few weeks before. So when I went back in for an airbags leak he also replaced my canister. I have approximately 1500 miles. My bike in summer also gets very hot around the seat and you can here the gas boiling.

Question for those who say they have never had a drip. Does that mean you have never smelled gas after a ride? If you did and it was strong you probably had some drips but they evaporated. If you never smelled any gas at all please tell me and include mileage if you would. Thanks :thumbup:

:thumbup: That is what I am looking for but I wonder which came first canister or purge valve not working? How has it been and how many miles since replacement?

Never has any drips nor smell any gas after a ride, even after filling up the tank, mileage is 800+ kms, ride every other day, short trips...

I had my recall done at my 600 mile service. Also had my highbeam fixed and a leak on my airbags checked. Well it ended up the airbag was still leaking and they had to replace my airbag maybe 200 miles more when I had airbag replaced. They had the bike for one week so while it was in for service and they had it apart they smelled gas fumes that I had told him about prior. So they removed the recall Band-Aid and replaced my canister and put a new Band-Aid on it. Then it started to get cooler outside and my gas fumes did not seem to be as bad. And the gas drips are not after every single ride. Hope this helps Dave

Yep good feedback. Mine did not happen every ride especially when new but has gotten worse over time. The last 2 times I rode in 50deg weather it leaked and that is the final straw. I have talked with BRP and my dealer. Now I need some warm weather for the 100mi. ride. :thumbup:
