Have any members running EBC front rotors noticed a burning brake pad type of smell when the front anchors are applied too quickly? They certainly haul my TBA up quickly but I distinctly notice the smell in emergency style braking situations.

I sometimes smell something when I lock up my brakes in emergency situations, but it's usually coming from the saddle.

I thought it might be my Sumer Screen channelling the smell up? Oh well if nobody else has noticed that type of thing I'll just have to put it down to the uniqueness if my particular TBA.
