Default z400 is it me or the machine

i weelie my z and i do it a lot but after i set it down after about 1/2 a mile and stop i can smell gas. i looked in the air filter and i could smell gas in there, felt air filter. my thought was that it was leaking out the carb bowl into the filter. is this normal or is there something wrong

You actually wheelie this thing for 1/2 mile continuous before you "set it down"? Damn dude, maybe you should join a stunt team!
