Burning Smell?

It's been kinda cold and wet here lately, and on the last ride I got this burning smell, like burning rubber maybe, coming from my Rattler after a couple miles. Any ideas as to what's going on? Am I not letting it warm up enough? Am I running too rich/lean maybe?

Oil leak on exhaust manifold?
Slipping CVT belt?

That was my first guess also. I have also spilled oil when filling up the little tank and most seemed to find its way to the ground but some could run onto other hot parts.

Cool, thanks guys. I'm taking it in to have some work done this week anyway, I'll have them give it a look.

Indeed I do! They're an excellent bunch of guys, sometimes I just go in there to shoot the breeze with 'em.

That's what I did at ecomoto.
