Default Gas Smell on Start Up

I have an 08 Road King.&nbsp\\; I have noticed recently that when I fire it up I get a faint smell of gas.&nbsp\\; Only happens when I fire it.&nbsp\\; Not during the priming of the fuel injection and only directly after I start it.&nbsp\\; The bike is stock with about 2500 miles on it.&nbsp\\;

I have to say that I have noticed that it seems to be doing this now that it has gotten hotter out here.&nbsp\\; I live in Tucson and we have had a couple of blast furnace days already.&nbsp\\; However, I dont know that I could say one has to do with another.

Any opinions on this / is this normal?
