I've got my bike stored temporarily in my conservatory as I had to take the fairing off and work on the instrument cluster to fix the faulty LCD odometer display (all sorted now).
There is a definite smell of fuel. There are no fuel leaks or anything showing on the bike, its completely dry.
After I fixed the odometer I started it to check the tacho function and it backfired. I had turned the ignition on and off quite a few times whilst I was fault finding on the instruments. Assuming the ticking noise when you turn it on is the fuel pump, so maybe just overfuelling?
The fuel smell was there before I did the work on it though.
So anything to worry about?
