Re: smelling of fuel
Wouldn't have anything to do with your new filler cap would it?

Re: smelling of fuel
Taken old filler cap off and still dripping out, don't think the warm weather would make it drip out so fast

Re: smelling of fuel
Does the new filler cap have some kind of vent hole on it. It should have a pin hole somewhere.

Re: smelling of fuel
There should be a breather hose that exits near the front of the bike by the belly pan - otherwise fuel will deposit itself on the top of the engine

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Re: smelling of fuel
It's the smaller hose that is the breather not the bigger one (page 2-4 in manual). I would leave the smaller hose disconnect for now it wont do any harm Maybe check the hose over for any blockages. IIRC on the standard fuel cap there is like a rubber nodule type thing with a hole in it on the outer circumference where the mounting bolts are.
