When i turn off the bike after a ride i smell fuel. Today i pulled the tank after a ride
and pulled my filter pods off and had some fuel in them and in the inside of the carbs.
I know my bike is running lean overall stock jets with a header and pods. I don't think
i should see raw fuel in the filters and carbs.

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Sorry, knee jerk response...Possible stuck float keeping the fuel flowing? needle seat O-Ring gone bad, acts like a stuck float. Others should jump in with more than popcorn as a reply.
