It was cool this morning, guessing around 50° or so. As I approached the gate guard I noticed a slight burny smell coming from the bike somewhere. It was still dark out when I parked but I came out later and didn't notice anything amiss. It's only about 15 mins from the driveway to work, so not a long ride or anything.
When I got home this evening I still smell it but much less. I thought the engine might be running hot so I checked the coolant and oil; both good.
2012 with about 2600 miles.
It appears to be coming off the engine best I can tell. I would describe it as either a hot paint or hot plastic smell. Overheat light never came on. Fan was running when I pulled in the driveway (turning CCW when looking from the rear if I remember right).
Don't worry?
