Faint burning smell?

[koolcat]

The last few nights after taking hour long rides, when I come back I notice a faint burning smell coming from the front of the bike.. I checked my oil and coolant levels and everything is right..The bike is not overheating when Im riding..anybody have experience with this?

Take a good close look at your header. Any little thing that gets kicked up into it and sticks is going to have to burn off. It's almost certainly nothing to worry about.

Maybe something hit your headers and is burning there?

All on the same page here. . . lol
At the collector where the 4-2-1 is, it'll hold tar coated pebbles that cook and can make cool rattling noises too!

Also check the front brakes, may have excessive drag. Hot brakes can smell a little like burning electrics.

If it smells a bit like burning wood, fall is here and pieces of leaves are landing on your headers from the road.

Do you think maybe something might be touching your headers? :BLAA:
