I am not sure what that smells like. Is this during start up or normal running?

How many MPG does it do? What do you get out of a tank full? What year is the bike? What can does it have?

You get the petrol smell at start up cos the ECM simulates a squirt of fuel from the accelerator pump on a carb.

160 miles is plenty, it certainly isn't running rich...
