I have a '12 FI bike and lately when i come back from a ride and park in the garage it smells like gas for a while and then the smell dissipates. I've heard the term "carb puke" on the carb bikes, is there an equivalent problem with the FI bikes?

in FL with a black(fastest color) bike , from yards away, i can see the fumes coming from the vent tube under the bike, diffracting/bending the light from the volume of fumage expelled , albeit carb-ed bike, same tank system

Hey guys he said it is a FI bike. I never heard of any fume issue from a FI bike owner. I would get down to finding the issue. If it is from some sort of vent I would want to know why it started to smell when it didn't before now and no one else with FI has the issue.

Just a thought I'd throw out,
I believe the charcoal canister is supposed to absorb any fumes from the vents. If you overfill the tank, it can dump raw fuel into the canister causing fumes to escape to the atmosphere.
The charcoal canisters are very expensive at $500. bucks a pop.
