Hi all,
On my 05 Road Glide (Fuel Injected) I am getting a very strong gas odor after riding it and then parking it in my garage. The odor eventually would fill my entire house – it is bad (and can’t be safe)!

I first noticed it would do that after tanking-up at the end of a ride then parking it in the garage so I started getting gas at the start of the ride – now it seems to do it after every ride.

There are NO puddles of gas under the bike so I’m guessing it is evaporating off someplace.

Any ideas?



Thanks.

Overfilling?

Do you fill past the plate inside your tank? I assume you have one the size of the gas pump inside the filler hole.

 

Yeah brother. You gotta stop pulling over at the 7-11 for those giant burritos.

(Sorry Al, couldn't resist.) Something doesn't sound right. There's obvously unburned gas coming from somewhere. Air cleaner?
I'd suggest you have the dealer solve this before something bad happens.

 

Check for over fillling first. Run a 1/2 gallon out of the tank and see if it still stinks. You may want to get a new gas cap as well which is a cheap thing to try. Also, if the bike sits in the sunlight through a window.....move it to the shade as it could be overflow through the tank vent from heating by sunlight.
