Titanium silencer weird smell

Tried the "new" titanium silencer today and went for a fast ride, up to top speed. Then I parked it inside my garage and noticed the weird smell, kinda like the smell you get from running a cordless drill. It had a lil bit of smoke still in the silencer after I parked it, but I'm pretty sure thats normal. Maybe I just need to re-pack it? Or is it the metal itself that smells like that, or something worse?

Probably just the protective coatings burning off. Should go away after a few rides. It probably had cosmoline or some kind of oil on it.

Those are coated internally and externally with a thin film of oil. Completely normal!

nah, it's for my other bike, a 2002 CR125 haha. I guess if anybody wants to try and fit a titanium silencer on their KDX then I guess this post can be relevant
