CCT Poll - Everday use VERSUS Sunny day use

Was interested to hear if people who have had problems with their CCTs are occuring on bikes that are used everyday or is it more prevalent on bikes that are used less frequently?

my bike is a german import and i've discovered it had a cat converter before the Scorpions were added! I'd say mine has the pair system as she pops twice every time i release the throttle and i mean every time. When she is very hot its like two shot guns going of! As you say it may not be a UK prob ...
