Not sure if this is even a problem. But I was wondering if it was normal to get a faint smell of gasoline while riding when it is hot out. Only happens when bike gets around 220 degrees. If it is a problem what are your suggestions on fixing it?

Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.

It's normal, just like hearing your gas tank whining a little or popping when you open the cap. just the gas expanding/contracting with the head of the day

its normal to a point, i wouldnt ignore it. check fuel lines (a lighter helps) for leaks. check for leaks around carbs, throttle bodies or injectors.
start bike up and let it run and get to temp take a wiff of your exhaust, not a big wiff or you will wake up on your back. you could be smelling unburt fuel in your exhaust, or it could just be fumes coming up from your take cap.
it could be nothing, then it could cause your bike to burn.

My Priller dripped from the tubes below the fairing and it turned out the vent tubes INSIDE the fuel tank were cracked from age. Don't assume its nothing. Often times those drain tubes drain VERY close to headers and such. Wouldn't be asking much in the way of physics/thermodynamics to ignite! And at today's prices those drips are precious $$!
