Last couple of weeks I've take my scooter out
blast
under hard accerlation I get a burning smell
I wasn't sure at first but tried it again today
It don't smell of 2 stroke

Have you checked your pants?

If you can smell it when you are moving it's most unlikely to be coming from your scooter,its not usual for you to smell anything coming from your scooter when you are on the move,the guy behind you may be able to smell it.

Jonoy use your nose to locate where the burning smell is coming from and try narrow it down a bit.

Is it a rubber burning smell ? tyres rubbing maybe check the treads and clearance.
Is it an electrical wiring burning smell ?
Is it a burnt oil smell ?
Is it coming from the exhaust ?
give us a little more to go on we're good but we ain't that good

Iam wondering if the clutch might be dragging

not dragging maybe but it might be slipping .
when was the last time you checked your oil level in the gearbox ?

If you think the smell might be coming from within the crankcase then you need to drain the oil and remove the cover asap and check out what is happening in there.

Is it running weak; how's the plug

It's normally black sooty
but I do mostly town riding so it
doesnt get to stretch its legs very often
