samd007 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi Gang, I am looking for a possible solution. I have an 01 1100rt 15k mi. Recently I have noticed a burning rubber smell after I pull into the garage. I'm not sure where it's coming from. I have checked the small gasket that holds the muffler in place and it is still pliable. It is not an oil or brake smell either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment
Wooster Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Gee Sam, Burning rubber smell ? How about looking closely at the tires for any rubbing, particularly the front as the fender assembly has been known to loosen and rub against the front tire. Burning rubber smell, not at all a sweet thing. Good luck, Wooster Link to comment

samd007 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'll check out all of your ideas and get back. I know I don't have a lot of miles on the bike but it may be the original belt. Thanks Link to comment

Red Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 check the tyre pressure. I rode 220 miles on a rear tyre that only had about 20 lbs. It was a little wobbly but not bad. The stiff sidewalls will let you drive and drive until the tyre gets so hot it blows. Link to comment
