Rather than conjecture, check for codes. You can do this at home. Just hold the mode button on the left while turning on the bike. Hold for a few seconds. Then read this.

let me use small words here so that even you can understand.... its a no brainer that the first thing you should have checked was your gas cap. Instead you had to come here and look for a fix. Were talking internal combustion 101. To put it in the smallest possible words.... "vapor lock" Now it may turn out to be that its not vapor lock but only a moron wouldn't check that first. Remember me from your political rant that got shut down? Also you were told by me in an earlier post on this thread about codes. I can see your one of them guys that really knows his way around a motorcycle.

Was the smell of gas, after he cranked it for awhile?
Do they still have a vent hose, or has that been gone away due to emmission restrictions?
He could have gassed up just before he parked it, and it could be overflowing. Could be a red herring.
