Have you cooked a mouse that was living inside? Laughing

In seriousness I would expect some burning off or smelling from preservative/oil or whatever the manufacturers coat it with.

Getting a new exhaust and only riding for a minute? No, that's bizarre.

Riding for a minute will do more damage than anything. Be smart, 1 hour blast.

I've noticed this on my bikes with very short runs.
