I've been looking at what people are saying they are paying for their insurance- and it's been pretty steep. I've only been quoted fully comp 280, tptf 162. ive just passed and the bike is a fzs600 with 1 yr no claims. Is this right or am I seeing things?

I've picked up my new yammy majesty 400 last month, I love the bike but....from new it has had this little buzzing plastic sort of noise coming from what I thought was a panel. It has got a little worse now and I have tried to find it without any luck. It seems to be coming from behind the clocks..... Anyone else had experience of this? Cheers
