I put a BBK on and rode it twice. It died both times after about 2 miles. It smelled hot. Now it wont start. Please help.

2 or 4 stoke engine?
If 4, check your valve lashings.

Hi
Welcome aboard
Pleased to meet you
Did you change your jets when you installed the BBK?
Sounds like you may have soft seized the engine the first 2 times running it in a very lean condition. Hopefully you did not damage it badly
Does the engine turn over freely but not start? or are you having trouble getting it to turn over at all?
Take care and ride safely
Yours Hank
