Burning plastic smell?

Last few days I've noticed a faint burning plastic kinda smell from the bike, I'm at 2000 mi., not sure what it is. Seems to be centered under the gas tank / engine area, not exhaust. It isn't something I'm very worried about because it's nothing crazy strong...but I'll probably take the seat off and poke around this weekend.

On an unrelated note - I skipped the 500 mi valve check...planning to just do it at 2500mi. Have anyones valves ended up not needed adjustment?
