Bike runs fine. At traffic lights or when ticking over I get an hot oil / exhaust smell coming up from the engine. It's quite overpowering but obviously clears when the bike is on the move.
It smells like a breather pipe is split, but on checking all are good and connected. I don't think I have a blowing exhaust seal.
Any ideas guys?
