Strange burning smell from the front of the bike

The best I can describe this,it’s a electrical burning smell. The engine isn’t running hot. It seems to be running just fine. Wasn’t from the breaks because I was in M25 and didn’t brake at all.
Could you give an advice what can be.
Thanks for the opinions.
Regards

Have you got leaves or other litter trapped around the bike? I once had a Styrofoam burger box trapped between my exhaust and the radiator. Appalling smell and a real pain because I had just polished my pipes…

What bike is it?

Honda Deauville

Regulator/rectifier and wiring, check battery is charging

Have you had any problems starting it?

No,starts fine.
Could be because of the rain?
Started smelling on Thursday when was raining

Won’t expect rain run off to smell electrical.

Battery may be able to start bike even though it’s not charging. Get a multimeter on it to confirm regulator is okay before it cuts out on you in the middle of nowhere.

I had a melted plastic bag on my headers a while ago. I thought I’d vomit from the smell until I realised what it was :smiley:

My bike smells of burning, from front when it’s raining.
Bit alarming at first!
