Twisted

I'm not quite sure what you mean, has it been damaged or crashed perhaps?

Burning smell could be a plastic bag or similar on the downpipes. I got one and it took about 2 weeks to stop smelling.

Could be due to a square rear tire.

My SV does that to some extent after 10.000 kilometers on the same rear tire.

My mystery burning smell turned out to be a loose hot terminal on my battery burning off insulation... It's unlikely yours is the same but it could be, you never know.

my horrible burning smell was the seal on the water pump went and was leaking coolant down the side of the case and onto the pipes....

easy enough to spot if you have engine running and watching the side of the casing...
