'15 RTL, is it normal for a very faint burning rubber smell right after changing the drive belt and rear tire? Used a Krikit II to check the tension during install.

No dust, no smoke, not hot to touch, no vibrations. Just smells funny.

I rode about 30-35 miles, the smell was noticeable for the first few miles, then very faint towards the end of the ride.

You should not be getting a hot rubber smell. How is the alignment between the belt and the pulley's? What tension did you end up with on the Krikit? Are you running a dampener setup?
