Thats the sort of smell batteries make when they are overcharging and "cooking"
The next step is for it to split and dump acid all over the bike.You need to get a multimeter and check the charging system as per several threads on here.This will tell you what is wrong and you can sort it from there.Dont just buy a new battery and hope for the best,as it will probably just cook that as well.
