Has anyone else with a 919 had a problem smelling like gas or exhaust after riding? I haven't but in talking with someone he stated people warned him a 919 would do that. Anyone had this problem?

Not a 919, but my 599 makes me stinky. Especially anything bungeed to the back seat. Not so much a clean "fuel" smell - more like acrid, noxious half-burned hydrocarbon residue.

I'm surprised to hear of the problem on a FI bike, but exhaust is exhaust, I guess...

yeah, the 919 is known for the smelliness. damn high mount exhaust...

My 599 was stinky only when I used premium gas instead of regular.

here is a fix for the smell
