For the last several rides my bike smells like I'm grilling hot dogs. It's spring and on a couple of rides as I came to a stop light I assumed there was a cook out nearby and it made me hungry. I'm slow but after a few rides I realized it's from my bike. I started looking for melting clothes, hot wires, a dead bird on the engine etc. I can't find anything hot. I'm starting to think it might be the smell of the exhaust! Any ideas?
I recently tried some octane fuel additive to resolve a mild pinging at full throttle that the bike has always had. It did improve the pinging. I used it for about two tanks but the current tank has no additive. Could I have done some damage to something with the additive? Any other thoughts?
