Wednesday I was out with some friends riding pretty hard and when I took my 07 out the next day I noticed a weird burning type smell coming from my bike. I thought maybe it was just outside, but today I noticed it again. It seems to be coming from the left side of the engine and like I said almost smells like something is burning. I have ~1700 miles on my bike and I am just hoping I haven't F### it up. Anything??? Thanks

perfectly normal...it's the cat...just give him sometimes to work "properly"...mine did the same as well...it needs about 1000km depending on how hard you ride to let the smell go away!

Same smell here. I thought my clutch was burning or brakes or something. Good to see I am not the only one. I have about 1200 miles on it and it has been smelling less and less.

Out of curiosity, do you guys also have a rattling sound that you can hear about 4K RPM in 1st or 2nd gear? I'm not sure if is normal engine noise or if I actually have something loose.
