Default New bike burning

Like it says I have an 04 zx-10r that I just picked up from the dealer with NO miles on it and now I just have about 330 miles on it and when I started today smoke started to come from under the tripple tree above the radiator and smelled like burning rubber. My question is should I rip apart the bike and see what is burning, start the bike and let it burn to the ground in the drive way, or take it to the dealer cus im not very please with my first kawasaki buy What Could be burning if anyone knows please advise me.

thanks
Nick

My lowers were not fastened properly from the dealer which caused me some concern also. Not sure on the rubber smell though.
