Recently bought GTO3R, and not too many problems so far. One irritating (though not serious) problem is that windscreen washer deposits a shower of soapy water on my nice clean screen under acceleration. Anyone else have this?

Yes mine had this problem - apparently it was caused by lack of "non-return valves" or something - they were fitted by the dealer in a few minutes and it fixed the problem.

The water will also exit-left stage above 100mph due to, IIRC, a vacuum effect sucking water down the waher fluid pipes.

Getting non-return valves fitted fixed the problem imediately. Mole Valley did mine.
