So for the 1st time ever, I had a burned rubber type of smell while riding yesterday. It was only like 2 or 3 times, in 5 hours, for like 30 seconds. I thought I was slipping my belt. I never really lost acceleration, and when I hit the throttle off/on off/on, it seemed responsive.
So I was going 30mph – 40mph, dirt road, not technical in hi range. I was not hammering it really at all. I weight like 180, dog is like 80, then front ogio with stuff in it, not much. Maybe at that speed in hi range, with upwards of 275 – 300lbs is too much for my 550? no way right?
I’m stock setup in my clutch.
So I got home, pulled CVT cover, smelled nothing, belt looks new, no debris and clean in there outside of a bit of dust. I did not dig into the wet clutch. I then noticed my front right big horn OG had some bad wearing issues going on, so I am going to pull that off and see if something is in the caliper.
So now wondering if alignment, maybe I should have dug into wet clutch, I don’t know.
I’m at 6,000 miles, never serviced anything, just change my oil.
