9C1 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RDMcD Posted July 4, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted July 4, 2019 Is something nesting in the "V" of the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreginDenver Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted July 4, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted July 4, 2019 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. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9C1 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Thanks, fellas. I'll get a closer look at the V and the coolant lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
