Hi Silver,
It's not unusual to notice a bit of white smoke at this time of year as the weather changes and a few people have mentioned it. It's normally just condensation and should burn off. Go for a good 30 minute ride, or otherwise get the engine proper warmed up (not just a couple of minutes on tickover) and most likely it'll be gone, in which case it's nothing to worry about.
I think it's normal for the FZS to have a bit of a fuel smell on start-up from exhaust area, they run quite rich and I've noticed the same on mine, and others have mentioned it on this forum many times. Again, if it goes once the bike is properly warmed up then it's nothing to worry about. If you wanted to investigate it further then next step would be to check plug condition and colour.
I think (not an expert in this area) that it's normal to have a bit of back pressure from the silencer, and so I'm wondering if it's just as simple as your exhaust gasket (between link pipe and silencer, or rather if it's standard then thinking about it then it would be between the link pipe and the downpipes) is due for replacement? That's probably the first thing I would look at, as well of course as checking for corrosion around the area and any holes from which it's blowing.
Tell us more about the vibration side of things, how is it felt and how does it sound? Does it match bike's road speed or the engine speed? Have you checked the front sprocket is safely attached (they can fall off!) and the bearings are good?
Let us know how you get on and we'll take it from there. Meanwhile others more expert than I might have further views.
