Every time I start my bike and let it warm up I get a sweet smell like anti freeze is leaking onto a header or something- but i can't find any tell tale signs of leakage. Anyone else got any ideas? 2006 with 20k miles.
I would start with pulling the lowers off and inspecting all the hose connections and tightening all the hose clamps.
I had this same problem for a while on my Gen 5. Doing what Toe mentioned seemed to have fixed it, although I think its still programmed in my brain that I smell it a little bit. But i did find a few loose clamps.
check the radiator cap, usually folks dont realize you have to push and turn on after meeting initial resistance. They feel screwed on, but a push and turn will get you another 90 degrees and a complete seal.
