Ffs take off right foot peg, three bolts take off carbon cover look for the steel bit I’ve mentioned.. simple!
Or we can go around the houses canning around talking .... and not sorting this out in a logical sequence. Could of done it by now!

I can do that but I’m sure I can see that metal bit there. Doesn’t the carbon cover attach to it, so if it wasn’t there then the carbon bit couldn’t be attached?
I had a look from the other side of the bike and metal shielding is around the exhaust pipe and the reflective material is on the back of the carbon. A couple of bits of that are a bit brown from heat.
No doubt from running the engine in on the road and being in traffic. It seems to run hotter than my SP2.
I posted in a Facebook group and someone else had exactly the same thing on a new R and his picture of the carbon looked identical to mine. The carbon was replaced under warranty and he added additional heat shielding to it. He’s been running the bike since last year and had no issues with the bike so I guess it’s not indicative of an underlying issue causing more heat than should be there.

Or cooking it …
What?
It's due in the workshop tomorrow for it's service and it will get looked at then.
There are two metal protectors around that part of the exhaust - one that is inside the carbon and the other that goes over the exhaust from the other side. So, two metal protectors around that part of the exhaust and quite easily visible without taking the carbon cover off, exactly as it shows in the installation manual.
Someone elsewhere had the same thing, their picture of the outside looked identical and they posted a picture of the inside, which I expect mine will look like.
Obviously I'm not the only one who's had this happen.

Couldn't ride faster while running the bike in on the road...
