You should not be getting condensation in the radio. Mines a 08 and I've never had a problem like that. Something isn't sealed right from the moco. I would take it back asap.

I know people do it, but the only time my bike get's any water sprayed up around the inner fairing, is if I get caught in the rain. I always use a duster and then clean the inner area with pledge and a soft microfiber towel. I know it's supposed to be water resistent, but I just don't trust it. JMO
