I store my motorized bike in my apartment living room 5 feet from the kitchen and have learned how to make the gas smell almost non-existent. Try this, before you turn your bike off after riding, turn the petcock off while leaving the engine running for about 30 seconds. Continuously rev the engine moderately during this 30 second and by doing so it will empty your carburetor bowl. This is done because usually the leaks occur from the carburetor. After 30 seconds or so turn the bike off and make sure your fuel valve or petcock is completely off. Check for oil/fuel drippings on the belly of the carburetor bowl, below it and around and under the engine. If this clean and there are no other leaks or traces of fuel, like in the fuel line connection you should be set. All you should smell at this point is a slightly metallic smell, but nothing offensive.
