When I removed the side panels on my motorcycle, I noticed a strong odor of gasoline coming from the air filter box. I read previously that the motorcycle recirculates vapor from the engine back to the intake to burn off harmful stuff, but I thought that’s only oil fume. Is it normal to have gasoline smell from the filter?

I unplugged the drain hose from the gas tank, and the smell did not seem to come from there.

I did some digging and found this post, although it didn’t appear to have an answer to my issue.
