Guest robson Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 What can it be? yesterday I finished short trip during the rain and when I arrive more steam then usually showed up from the engine and radiator and I smelled some burning odor. Today when I started engine the smell is gone it's gone. Link to post

Guest bonekicker Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Did you hit any animal or anything like that? that stuck to your radiator? Link to post
chris 357 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's normal. Do a search of the forums and you'll find a few threads from other riders - the muck off the road thrown up by the front wheel into the radiator & onto the cat gets burnt of & evaporates so when you stop the smell just rises up. 1 Link to post

ScaredyCat 1,655 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's normal, probably just small bugs + rain + grime from the road. I get it all the time in the rain, can only smell it what I stop though. Link to post
Guest Zeetsman Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Had the same problem started last week, smell of burning, today it cut out on the way into London.... being recovered and taken to the dealer. Not good. Link to post
Guest jdearauj Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I had the same issue and investigated for hours. Eventually found it was my 3rd Party exhaust which was the culprit and only happens when it rains. Link to post
Huskyteer 1,091 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I always get exhaust smell in the rain - it's very noticeable. Also water vapour coming up through the headset, which was a bit alarming the first time! Link to post
