Me and Joker have a small amout of coolant that runs out when we are doing wheelies. This might be the smell. Look on the right side of the bike, near the back of the belly pan for coolant stains.2003 TL1000R

Another one falls to the darkside. Before you know it you will be trying stand up wheelies. Clutch would smell like hot brakes, but since it is inside the engine you will get very little smell, not like a car. Coolant has a sweet smell and taste.

Hmmmm, are you sure it wasn't your breath blowing back in your face?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
If it ain't broke, lighten it.

I agree that it is probably coolant. You should probably rig something up to stop it from coming out of the overflow. I imagine though, if your anything like me, that the thrill of wheelies will call you and you will ride instead. Then you will do more and more wheelies. Spilling more and more coolant. Then one day you will stop and a light while out doing wheelies with your friends and they will all be looking around saying what is that smell. You'll say
but secretely you will know. Then, after they keep asking and asking and asking about it you will say... "ITS COOLANT GOD DAMNIT, GET FUCKING OVER IT ALREADY" Then maybe you'll fix it over winter because its not really hurting anything.

Not clutch for sure. (Its sealed in the cases and doused with oil) Coolant usually smells like an overheating car, but it still could be the problem. Are you covering the rear brake?(And if so could it be dragging just a little?)Maybe you were behind a drive-by shooting
