I parked the motorcycle.20 minutes later i can back to leave.tried to start motorcycle, and it would not start.noticed a gas smell and relized fuel was running down from the carburetor area.i finally got the motorcycle to start, but began noticing this at all of the stops along our motorcycle ride.the bike is parked and issue needs repaired, as it is an extreme fire hazzard for fuel to be leaking from the carburetor onto the hot exhaust and engine.it appears this condition only happens after machine is turned off and attempting to be restarted.i have owned this bike for over a year and have had zero problems until now, once it was started, there were no issues.
