Burning Smell After Hard Pulls?
After I run through 1st and 2nd gear it gets a very noticeable burning smell. It smells a lot like burning rubber but it doesn't seem to be the belt. I'm pretty stock besides the Airbox and Exhaust. I don't think its the clutch either. I also noticed after say at a red light the revs drop drasticly down to 400 and then bump between 400-700 and then idles normal again.Any help would be appreciated because I'm starting to think something may be wrong.

I get that kind of smell sometimes to after hard pulls, i think it's the belt slipping a little bit not a big deal, just check the belt tension to make sure it's not too loose. and for wear on the belt. that's most likely what it is. could be the clutch slipping a little just not enough to feel.

RPM's hold strong and are smooth. Belt didn't seem loose or worn down from what I can tell when I looked today. Maybe it is some what normal like Jake said. I'll check the tension after school tomorrow.

it does not look like it's to loose but under hard pulls it can slip just enough to get hot enough to smell a little. i wouldn't worry about it to much. does it look like it's worn at all. can't tell in your video.
