Burning smell when warming up?
Hi,
I have a 2000 SV650S and on warm up I get like a burning plasticy rubber smell, I think it's from the exhaust, once warm it seems to go. Any ideas. |

Re: Burning smell when warming up?
I have the same problem. I've been trying to pinpoint the source and it appears to be coming from around the reg/rec (kinda worried).. Anyway, with mine the smell also comes along when running inertially for a while at high rpms (for instance when going downhill and keeping the throtle shut and my rpm's in the high 6 - 7).. I've actually looked a couple of times because I'm really worried it might catch on fire

Re: Burning smell when warming up?
nothing to worry about really
probably just some lube or something on the exhaust or engine. I spray my bike exhaust with 365 and it burns too. When you see flames then thats a problem lol
