hi team,

Since i had the termi kit installed on my 695, i smell a bit of a gasoline smell, sort of that smell that a lawnmower gives off. I know the dp ecu makes the bike run richer, is that what i'm smelling?

thanks,

So I went solo.  -Me

I think I wet myself laughing.   

you may want to look at your fuel line connections to the bottom of your tank.  twice now I've had mine drip some fuel onto the rear of the header and give a waft of burning dino juice (gas).  just pushed up on the q.d. bits and it stopped leaking.  best of luck!

If you can't see a leak, I wouldn't worry about it.

Did they (or you) remove the charcoal canister emmisions crap at the same time?  That can cause a slight odor too.

It's kinda normal especially if yours is a weekend bike ....

That's actually generally pretty true.
