Could you be smelling a very hot brake disc and pads? That would emanate from the right side. Is your brake pedal sticking? Or caliper?
This has happened to me....... mild case but riders behind me wanted to know what the odd smell was. Sure enough, brake lever pivot was getting on the sticky side.

 
Regarding off-season nap time:

When putting my feej into storage, I place some rodent repellant near and around the air intake. Never had a mouse crawl down into the muffler, (have to be a real acrobatic and feeble-minded mouse!), but if you have any concerns about rodentia setting up house in there, just stick a wad of steel wool in the end, and spray a bit of engine fog or ACF-50 or similar.

Dryer sheets also work well as rodent repellant
