Having some experience with battery and charging routines, most charge routines are a 2-step process. Standard charging process until the battery is almost full, then swapping to a trickle-charging process to get the last few percents up to 100% (takes more time compared to standard charging).
Have noticed that the ST2 charging routine follows the same principle.
Orange led: charging to approx. 90% (I suspect)
blinking green led: charging from 90% to 100%
Suggest you leave the charger plugged in for another hour and I suspect you won't see the 89% anymore
Would not recommend to charge the battery to 100% each time if you're not planning to ride the bike shortly after. 100% means high internal stress-level to the battery-cells which can have a negative impact on the life-time of the battery.
