              I bet you have taken the air box off or your crankcase ventilation hose is off and your getting those fumes on you. Just a thought.....................MITCH

                      I remember Dave Hogue at Camp XS '98(?) when He was actually getting sick from his exhaust. I think one of his header gaskets had disintegrated. Ask Dave, for sure...

                          I ended up replacing the joint gaskets, 5 in total and it cleared up the problem.
