Burning Rubber Smell

Good Idea!

It is actually road dirt and debri that get thrown onto the hot Catilytic converter under the bike. I have solved this by wrapping my cat in heat sheilding. You could also do a cat delete and the smell will go away. Its not the belt or the tire. Nothing to really worry about.

My 2016 RTS still smells after riding, have 4K miles on it now. Didn't think of the Cat!

Not unusual

I ride a 2015 F3-S with 4,500 miles on it. I often smell burning rubber when I park it in my garage after a run. I don't think there is anything wrong with the Spyder and think the smell comes from the rear tyre due to my too frisky use of the throttle on the way home. mmmmmm.

Thanks. I have only rode my Spyder three times so far, but I got that smell 2 out 3 times. That explains why.
