strong smell of gasoline when I stop
#11
I have an '18 Heritage 114 with 10k miles and I'm having this same issue. Small 2" diameter gas puddle on the floor under the left rear side. I also smell gas while riding and stopping. I tend to notice the puddle with 1/2 a tank of fuel or less so I know it's not over filled tank issue unless it takes a while to drip down that tube. I'll have to have the dealer check it out....along with that damn vibrating gas cap.

I also get the fuel smell in my garage because of that hose. it is worse on the Sporty which has a Carb.

This sounds EXACTLY like what was common to most Yamaha Ventures. Small dab of fuel under vent tube after bike sit still hot or parked in hot sunshine for awhile. Same cause. Yam would not address the issue. They said it was “normal.”
Oddly, my 2018 RGU does not do this. Almost 11k miles riding in SoCal heat. Never a drip or whiff of fuel. To me, that is the oddity. AFAIK all Ventures did this, but not all HD tourers do. I wonder why.
