Burning up?


9C1

Recommended Posts

Every time I get off my 2000 VFR, I get a good whiff of what smells like grass or leaves burning.  Never any smoke.  I've lifted the tank, checked the airbox, checked the battery compartment, and looked at the engine as best I can see but don't see anything.  Bike runs great, so no issues there.  Anyone else have this happen?  Thoughts?

Maybe there's a bit of coolant leaking, it has a distinctive smell to it when it's hot.  Have a look into the "V" as best you can after a ride.

 

Also look at the little hole on the bottom of the water pump.

Certain time of year I'd collect a few Locusts on the oil cooler. Yummo smelt like Kentucky Fried on the go!

Check if you've collected any critters around the radiator core or oil cooler.
