Did you turn up the volume on the rear speakers? Just asking....

I have always been able to hear some sound from the rear speakers even when I am on headset.

I also can hear the rear speakers when I have set the control to head set. I have often wondered if this is correct or not.

This is by design. It has two purposes that I can think of - if you don't know the control is on HS, you can go crazy trying to figure out why the speakers are dead. More importantly, it is VERY easy to accidentally leave your key in the ACC position. If the radio is on, this WILL kill your battery in a day or two. It is not uncommon at all for a Yamaha shop to kill the battery of a bike left for maintenance just this way. Since many people constantly use headsets and never turn the radio off, this is a possible battery saver to clue you in that things are still on.
