[QUOTE="08FJR4ME, post: 1378421, member: 14242"] As an FYI you can put a Cobra exhaust shield on the pipe so that doesn't happen again. around $23.00 I believe. Worked for me. On another note I took the 2015 up to mount Washington in NH. After paying my fee and getting my sticker we pulled over to add some more clothing before we headed up. As we started heading up the mountain all I could smell was rubber burning. No smoke mind you. We went a little further and I could still smell it. We kept going and it eventually went away. Mind you the bike was not running hot. We had stopped for about 20 minutes prior to going so the bike had to have cooled down somewhat. I will report we didn't end up in a ball of flames but it was a little disconcerting. Anyway the rest of the trip was fine and we never got a strong rubber burning smell again. This has happened on the 2008 several times also but maybe only once as bad as what the 2015 did in NH. It seems to come and go and rain seems to exacerbate the issue. So I will just hope for the best because no one to my knowledge has come to find the cause. Good luck, Dave [/QUOTE]
