you sure you didnt ride over a plastic bag or something? Because thats what I did and it melted to my Y Pipe. I can still smell it when I get to high speeds and this happened weeks ago. check underneath and see if you see a melted bag.

Usually smells bad for about 4-6 weeks sometimes longer depending on what happened. I had it happen twice now >_<

Burnt clutch?

I heard of this one a while back, it was a harness on the driver side near the gas tank I beleive ? Anyone can confirm this or lead us to the thread talking about this potential issue ?

check the back brake to make sure it isn't hot. when the e-break freezes, the back driver side brake smells burnt. wet your finger good before you touch it though.

Mine too. Apparently there is a TSB out for the rubber sheath that goes around the e-brake cable. It's made of inferior grade rubber and degrades very quickly, letting water in and (in the cold) freezing the brake closed. And of course the dealership was not at all helpful about this...
