kawi,
   What type of oil are you running in the transmission?  It sounds like your plates are glueing themselves together as they cool down after your last ride.   It might be that you need different oil, or if your clutch is slipping while you ride it could be getting hot enough to make the aluminum plates "sticky" so when you finish your ride they "stick" to the fiber plates.  The smell could be rad overflow onto the pipe, also possibly a sign of a hot clutch.  As for the noise it is difficult to tell without hearing it. Hope this helps. Cam.

Ditto...  burnt clutch oil will smell,  check it.  Also,  maybe a little rodent or bee's have made a nest in your silencer...  will cause a smell and effect the tone and power of the bike.

Agree that the clutch probably needs different oil and maybe steel plates.

burning smell? have you checked your pants where the pipe is? number plate? gas tank? look around the pipe and check anything close.
