Anyone else notice a strainge odour from the bike at running temp 75° just like a warm rubber smell? Ive had a look under the tank for any smoke or indicator of burning and theres nothing, it was my boss thqt pointed it out that it smelled like rubber

Check the fuel tank overflow hose is properly connected; from memory this can come adrift and drop down onto the exhaust headers near the back wheel.

I believe the fuel tank vent goes forward left, then down and behind the headers to the left side....  Terry I think that hose is the fuel tank overflow drain..... but possible for both to develop a good cooking.  I replaced my vent with silicone tubing.
