ok matey... to save time for when the real experts come along.
is the bike standard UK spec with original exhaust. what year is it.
how many miles are you getting to the tank - aprox.
is the rear of the exhaust 'sooty/black'
how long has it been like this and if its come on recently has anything happened that might explain it.
there are various answers to your problem - but i dont think changing the CCP is it.

My bike is also a german import. I had a lot of fuelling problems when I first bought it. These were cured after following the advice of Steptoe I removed the original german exhaust (with CAT) and unplugged the lamda completely removed it and its wiring from the loom. then fitted a unused original UK spec exhaust.
Bike has no CCP - nor fuelling problems now. I get approx 200 miles to the tank.
I'm not tempted to mess any further with the exhaust - I know full well how heavy it is but it seems to me that fitting an after market exhaust will do noting but open a can of worms.
