Premature paint chips and rust
Premature paint chips and rust
So I have 1300 miles on. Mostly dry roads and washed and dried after every trip. I know others have experienced paint chipping from the exhaust - sadly I’m not excluded - however I have noticed paint flaking from the frame and rust around two bolts( forward of oil sight glass). Will speak to dealer tomorrow but not good on a premium bike - or am I being too picky??!!

Re: Premature paint chips and rust
well, some rust might be expected around steel fasteners, especially in wet conditions, or if you don't dry the bike after washing.
But Flaking paint after 2 to 3 months is unacceptable. not convinced that's rust tho. looks very uniform around that fastener.

Yeah, a FB user pointed out its sealer and his is the same. So that leaves the paint flakes......BoostedOne wrote: Fri Jun 22, 2018 10:21 pm well, some rust might be expected around steel fasteners, especially in wet conditions, or if you don't dry the bike after washing.
