I know this isn't your issue , but do not ride that bike without checking the cam chain tensioners, they waste the oil pump , and it will get REAL expensive from there, trust me I know first hand.
I would guess the other thing is the in tank fuel line, it costs about $150.00

Start calling dealers, and find it, maybe one that is close will have it in stock, ordering online is not fast.

With the bad exhaust smell I would almost think vacuum leak. If the intake manifold has been off recently, the seal(s) could be leaking or it is not tight.
