burning smell while riding?

[teddy037.3]

le update:

belts look fine, nothing obvious as far as wear or anything from rubbing/over tensioned

regulator seemed ok, the wires/connector going into it were fine

took it on a 15 minute shakedown, couldn't recreate the smell, and the brake is not dragging.

it IS horribly dirty, though. the last few rides had been in passing/post rain

the only odd thing I noticed was one of the hoses from the airbox looked crusty/yellow at the metal fitting to the box.

airbox > fitting (crusty at start of hose) > hose between intakes >some split to the intakes for each cyl.

:edit: crusty joint is apparently the stepper motor breather (watching ducatitech's hym796 gas tank videos)

I presume it only smelled when you were stopped, not riding at speed?

I could smell it while moving, and when I stopped the bike

We're you riding through Kalihi?  The whole place smells like burnt toast every day lately.
