After the MC recall service...

[wetmountainman]

I had my MC recall service done yesterday, no damage was found. I had no other complaints, so I was in and out in an hour. Later last night, I went back to the garage and I smelled something weird. I worried at first that it might be gasoline, but it wasn't gas. I can't really describe the smell, but I think the new adhesive coverings smell after first getting hot.
Has anyone else experienced a new, odd smell after the recall?

YES smell of burning plastic... found the canister hanging by the hoses right on the exhaust pipe. Clearly the dealer did not get it clipped back in where it belongs!

I'm assuming it was hanging down on the left side...?

I did not. Removed the panels two weeks later to install heated grips and the recall foil wraps were properly in place and the cannister was all 'neat and tidy'.

Seems to be..!!

the logical explanation. All the adhisive shielding installed will have some odors as they are heated and cooled. I know when I wrapped the pipes and sprayed them with silicone that smell lasted a long time...but a look under ther will keep you at ease...!! :dontknow:

No, it was hanging on the right side and slid back against the rear cylinder pipe. It had the "recall foil" on it but it was not where it was suppose to be.... :dontknow:
