  • Smells like gas

    my exhaust is smelling like gas a lot more than it ever has. Could the bike be running to rich?

      If it smells like gas when cold, then it's leaking somewhere.
      If it smells like gas when you first shut it off (hot), and it's particularly hot, it could just be fuel evaporating off the carbs'.
      If it smells like fuel or your find liquid fuel at the tail pipe, it's running way-way too rich, and a visit to a dyno machine with an exhaust analyzer is probably called for after cleaning out the carbs and replacing a bunch of the smaller o-rings.
