sweet smell coming from right side engine

[live2ride]

so sitting at a red light, i smell something sweet.  i started getting hungry but realizing it was 3am in the middle of nowhere, i suspected the smell coming from my bike.  leaning over to the right, the scent is stronger.  I rode about a mile away to make sure it wasn't some guy having a late bbq and pulled over.  sweet and tangy smell coming from the right side of the engine.  smell reminds me of mcdonalds mcrib.  

nothing out of the exhaust.  nothing on the left side, but just above the belt covers or possibly the belt cover area on the right side seems to be the source.  

what could it be?  i'll inspect it tomorrow more carefully as i didn't think the side of the road at 3 am was really the best time/place to take apart the bike...

the belts do need to be replaced, but would they smell for any reason?  

rode 25 miles home without incident and the smell seems to be substantial weaker.

no recent service. (although a lot is due)

Inspect your helmet liner for rouge BBQ stains.

Taco Bell?

..or maybe one of the Ducati factory guys dropped some of his cannoli into the cover?

i was hoping for this but it would have smelled 'cooked' and not sweet.  but alas, no feathers anywhere

You spill thread locker all over?

Unless you've got a water cooled Monster, I can't think of anything that would come from the inside to out that would smell sweet. If it's a water cooled, leaking glycol coolant could smell sweet.
