Odd smell when bike is hot

Took the left exhaust cover off.
Roasted Acorns

Now I know why they call the nuts that hold the exhaust covers on Acorn Nuts, You have to remove them to get the acorns out
:lol:

How do you suppose they got there? Did a squirrel stash them?

Yes. Lots of oak trees around my house.
So there are lots of squirrels around too.

I think they may have accessed through the foot warmers. I will try and remember to close them from now on after riding. 😏
