Ive my my 06 gixxer 750 for about 6 months now, and recently put new tires on it. Ever since then smell something burning but it doesn't seem like the tires are rubbing or anything is leaking. Anyone had to deal with this before.
 
:lol :lol :lol.. you guys are messed up..

r u sure ur not smelling the bugs burning? I only suggest that cuz I smelled something burning on mine and it was fken bugs.. :dunno
 
my bike smelled funny for a week or so after I put my full exhaust on, figured it was just the muffler getting broken in cuz it went away after a week or so of riding, could be that if you put a pipe on it...
 
I get the same thing. I just got my 07 600 and it had .1 miles. It smells like the engine is always burning when I ride as if it were at 700 degrees. I wasnt sure if it was un-normal or if it was just because its easier to smell the engine on a bike then if you were in a car.
 
If u have no leaks and u don't c smoke, I wouldn't worry bout it.
 
my bike smelled funny during the breakin, and when i asked the guys a suzuki what it was they said it was the packing in the exhaust. and should go awa around or after the 1500 mark
 
I also have a ticking sound now. Sounds like a lifter tick would on a car. I only have 600 miles on the darn thing.
Normal. The gixxer has a light tick that you get a "perk":biggrin They all have a tick. Its when you start to hear the slapping or knocking that you need to worry. If it gets louder and you start to lose power, have your valves checked.
 
I notice some smells from mine every once in awhile. I have no leaks so i assume its something that was maybe kicked up on the header and is getting cooked. check and see some bugs can stink
