I get what your saying.

Mine smells like either S100 of Lucas Slick Mist. Depends on what I use to clean it.

Sometimes my garage smells like sawdust, but since I got rid of all my bikes that had drivechains on them, the garage doesn`t have a motorcycle smell. None of my bikes leak.

"None of the above" poll options we chosen.

If the OP smells gasoline, I'd suggest a concern.
Agree.
Mine has a faint smell of gas as of late.
In an effort to discover where it is originating, I noticed some discoloration on my Pingel.
Once I ride far enough to burn off a little more gas so I won’t have to buy another gas can, I’ll remove the offending **** and see if it just needs a gasket or possibly a rebuild.

Well stop sticking your "pingel" in the tank's bung hole and you won't get any discoloration on your pet ****!

Mostly leather or leather conditioner because it's a Heritage. However occasionally the passenger pillion has a faint fish smell.
