Was there any direct sunlight around at the time? What time of day? My wife had a small glass globe on our TV and I couldnt work out why there was a melted area of plastic on the TV. Sunlight was shining in thru the Globe (acting like a magnifying glass) and burning the plastic but only at a cirtain time of day I'm sure it would have made a fire if left longer. I have also herd of the same thing with glass bottles Just an idea
Some oils will create heat as they dry .... linseed oil is the worst. Have you been oiling any timber furniture or similar?

a major pisstake... misstake
Today I got the new carb for the 500,Whats wrong with the other one nothing really its just dated and as I am bring the bike's technology forward a couple of decades I have replaced the orignal carb with a CRF450 carb...... Considering there will be work done to the camshaft,valves,exhaust system and crank it only makes sense too look after the otherside of the motor.. So I am about half way through the total rebuild,but very close too getting the rolling chassis finished before I strip it all down for Painting and engine rebuild to start. I must admit its rather cool seeing the bike actually looking like a bike now as all the parts come together
When I go back, next year...I am going to buy me something then get a friend to sell it for me later...At least that's the plan.....Should have gone this year..but, the heat has been really bad..according to my friends
gremlin hope to do the same as you shortly ,would it be easier to rent bikes over there or take your own.
