[QUOTE="Shanny, post: 1374726, member: 90940"] Thanks again for all the input! The FJR was recently purchased with 16500 miles and I had the oil and coolant changed within 5 days. The bike is extremely clean and since I also had an extended warranty til 2020 with the bike it needed to go thru a Yamaha inspection. I told the tech what it was doing and when I got the bike back, he said it was in excellent condition, no leaks and the felt the smell was nothing but a hot engine. He said FJR's run hot normally. I just can't get over the fact that Yamaha can actually pinpoint this issue, but since I am new to the FJR I was hoping someone here actually knew exactly what this smell is caused from. I am not a tech person and my initial thought was that maybe not enough oil was getting into that back cylinder and it was causing this smell. Thanks again for all the input!! [/QUOTE]
