So usually you can diagnose a problem based on smell right? My sv650 has been emitting a smell lately (just today). I washed my motorcycle a month ago and it has been out of the rain since then. When I washed it I also thoroughly waxed it. Now, I am positive that the smell isn't from leftover wax. The wax smelled nice and candle-like when I still had it on a month ago and I can assure this smell is nothing like it. I am sure all the wax that may have been on heated components has burned off by now anyway.

What I am smelling right now is similar to smores. Yes, I smell marshmallows and it sort of smells pleasant. It smells like the marshmallows that are singed and brown but not all nasty and charcoal-like typical of 90% of camp-fire smores. One thing that has me worried is probably the fuel in the tank being too low. I am at 190 miles for the current tank and the fuel light has been on for 34 miles.  I've done 205miles on a tank before no problem. If anyone has any info regarding fuel pumps for fuel injected bikes I am all ears because I hear that they can get overworked with too little fuel??

Ps. I checked my shoes and the cotton-like dress pants I had to wear today;  they are not burnt anywhere. Also, I just hope this wasn't some type of cruel Halloween prank involving the exhaust and a fist full of marshmallows. I look forward to the outlandish and practical theories and comments.

check to make sure nothing is stuck between your radiator fins

this is actually really good advice too. look over anything that gets hot for stuff that shouldnt be there

After everything passes, I would be more than obliged to go on a ride with you guys! Vlado, we haven't ridden together since Palomar last year!
