I get a smell of burning leaves at times and I think it's related to a leak of some sort but not enough to want me to take apart everything to fix it.
Strange you say that, it's mainly in the Fall that I get that smell..I have been getting the same smell lately...to the point where I looked around inside the fairings to see if there might be a stray leaf or two even though I couldn't imagine how they would get in there. Found nothing. Strange.
C14 sat for a month in the garage which isn't usually a issue. I start it up and notice after a few minutes at idle that if I slightly twist up the throttle that it revs up to for 4-5k and then slowly comes down within 2-5secs. Wait for it to fully warm up and do slightly more quick blips of the throttle and I get some smoke from the front of the engine/forks area and then it goes away quickly. Notice throttle blips up and down just fine now. Road it twice to work now about 40miles round trip and don't notice this slow return idle while riding but even after it is fully warmed up I still experience a sluggish throttle. Noticed the smoke about 3 times. I did see some oily residue looking drip on the front exhaust header. Couldn't tell if it was oil but likely. The signs of oil on header was only the one time
Background
-About a year ago I had a valve cover gasket replaced as there were leaks out the front left side and smoke at start up idle.
-PC5 & flies removed - Proper map for stock exhaust and flies out. Sound like a good reason to take out the PC5?
I still have warranty till next year. Suggestions? The drip isn't constant and I assume the smoke is when the drip occurs on the exhaust. What could be dripping at random times in the front of the engine area. Ideas on the slow rev down to idle? THanks to any that read and try to help.
The high idle control comes from the secondary throttle valve stepper motor and bumps up the primary throttle for cold start through linkage on the left side of the throttle body. I have had a couple of occasions where guys who had replaced their secondary plates in order to use my ECU flash had similar idle issues. In both cases the linkage being a bit gummy and stuck, and not letting the primary throttle valves drop. In both case spraying some WD40 on the linkage solved the problem. HTH, steve
Made a video for the issue that wasn't resolved after 2 weeks at the dealer. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkZq072azPQ
Thanks Maxtog for watching the video and your suggestions. Some things that could be contributing to the issue. I have 2" risers installed and I have heated grips installed under the aftermarket grips.I could take the grip off quickly and see if there is any influence or rubbing. I could even remove the risers to see if maybe there is stress being put on the cable. Sad that my bike had to sit there for that long and still not have it resolved. They did fix an oil leak but doesn't appear they put much effort into addressing this concern. I will see what happens with the grip off and then riser.
