Finally got my bike put back together and running, but I'm noticing a kind of sweet smell.. smells like coolant and since I dont have any, I find it odd.. any idea's? also.. I need a new clutch, suggestions on where I could get one for a good price? Anyone have a petcock for sale too? 89 750

ronayers.com for the clutch...
How long has it been apart? if the engine is in good condition you might need to perform an "Italian tune up" but not until after the new clutch.

Could be sediment on the pipe from sitting. All the dust in your garage settles on the surfaces and then gets hot and burns off. Smells nasty. Happens to me too. Once it gets hot a couple of times it should go away.
