...cos I am! :?
Been getting my new SV up to scratch over the last week - all the fairings off for a good clean, crash bungs on, front end off for fork oil seals and break pad cleaning and rear wheel off for new chain and sprockets.
I also drained the oil and changed the filter - the only engine related maintenance. However, I gave the bike a quick turn over yesterday and after about 30 seconds I started to get a little smoke around the front end and a slight 'burny' smell so I hit the kill switch.
Ok, this could've just been exhaut fumes drifiting up because I didn't have the front fairing back on yet...or it could've been WD40 or something evaporating off the exhaust downpipe after cleaning but I wanted to be safe and get some advice off you good folks first. I don't see how there could be any probs when all I've done is changed the oil :? Would I get a temp warning light if there was anything seriously wrong?
