Burning smell

Hi to all

I may just be imagining this but I'm sure that on a few occasions now when cornering at low speed I get a whiff of burning rubber, only lasts for a second or two then disappears again. I'm not holding the breaks on while going round or anything but I am leaning a bit.
Anybody ever had the same sort of thing or any ideas as to what it might be?

Has it been raining at the same time as this happens?

Steam coming from the radiator can smell strange if you're not used to it.

Not raining at the time but the road is a bit damp.

Is there a brick factory nearby?
The A1 near Peterborough used to smell like that

is ther maby something on the exhaust? or have you only put sealer on the exhaust joints or anything?i no that gives a burning smell afterwards.

No factories near by and as far as I know there's nothing on the exhaust. I don't smell it all the time just occasionaly, it's possibale that it's just another car or lorry or something but I just find it a bit odd that it has happened several times.

If the roads are wet/damp and dirty, stuff burns off on the exhaust, I also had the same experience when I first got the bike. I guess the only way to rule it out is to give it a good clean, or leave it running and have a good sniff around (mind your beak on the 'zorst! ).
Lastly, check the heel of your right boot, and the bottom of your right trouser leg

Thank's for the input guys, had a look at my boot and trouser leg didn't see anything so looks like I'll be giving the SV a good clean over the weekend, mind you living in the north east of Scotland in July it will most likley be chucking it down, ah well.
Thanks again.

Yea, I have had the same thing a couple o' times, but have checked the bike and my kit over afterwards, and everything seemed ok.
Havent had it for a while.
If ya find out what it is, let me know! ha

The burning water smell on the pipes was quite daunting for me the first time as I had just put a new battery in and was like oh shizzle what is that smell from...
