Oil seems runny and smells like gas

I have a 2015 XMR 800 and was wondering if anybody can steer me in the right direction. Yesterday I started up my bike to let it warm up because it was sitting for a few weeks. After idling for 10 mins I noticed smoke coming from the engine area and looked and found a small twig smouldering sitting on the frame under the motor. I thought this was strange. Today I checked the oil and it looked clean but looked very drippy. The oil had a gasoline smell to it. I don’t know where to start, I’m thinking changing oil first. What should I look to fix? Any suggestions would be great. The bike only has 41 hours on it!!

Custom 650xmr snorks

Was getting bored waiting for the long weekend (normally first big rip of the year). Decided to paint the rad emblem and do some snorkels. Here’s a few pics, not perfect and could do with a few tweaks but I am happy. Took a long time since I wanted it to be a take down so I can still access under the pod and take the rad cover off.

air shock stiffness

well my air system was giving me grief so to be able to ride it i removed the air shocks capped off the system and put on regular shocks.
i dont wanna give up on the air system completely yet, like the adjumstabiltity. so was wondering if anyone has experience with them or has also remove them,

my question is how stiff are the front shocks off the machine? i could lean on the front and compress them and they seemed normal, but once removed with no plugs in the air holes. i can lean on the rears and compress them like a shock should ( this is removed and pushing on shock against the floor) but the 2 front ones don’t budge. I’m 250 and can lift myself off the ground pushing on them and the don’t budge, is this just how they are or could this be my problem ?
