Burning Smell
 

Any help would be massively appreciated. There is a burning smell coming from the front of the bike that to me smells like it could be electrical. When wet there is also a small amount of light smoke coming up to.

It is coming from between the dash and front tyre somewhere!!

Any ideas what it ould be and what I should be checking for? Not using it now until I know it's nothing major.

Cheers folks,
Stu

It's your rad. Don't worry about it.
Well, I say don't worry but that's if it only happens in the wet.

No its happening when it's dry too, the smoke is only present when it's wet

Double check the block connectors? I know they can melt.

Ye ive had small bit of what appears to be smoke come up from there last time was out in the wet. never put any WD on anything.....why does it smoke like tht when really wet?

Re: Burning Smell
 

Smoke's different from steam right?

^^ yes it is but it does look the same, and my exhast smokes not steams when its coated it wd40, it also smokes when it gets wet thats down to the crap thats geting burned to the headerds (road dirt) the radiator defo steams and it can smell (boild bugs)

PS y dont you run the bike then get ure nose out and find where the smells coming from
