It is most likely the rich fuel condition which causes the fuel to ignite in the CAT. Other have reported this as well. Appears to be about as normal as the chirping at idle.

I agree that the word "hate" is a bit harsh. Actually, overall I love my FRS. Not quite sure I will sell my motorcycle just yet!
I hope you can answer the questions I asked the window-glass makers but never received a reply. There are codes etched on the glass. What do they mean? Googling answered only some. How much UV do the windows filter, in particular the windscreen. After-market films claim 99.9% uv filtering..... why does glass not do the same and preserve our interiors from breakdown?

To my eyes the glass appears slightly green rather than yellow/brown and I quite like it.
