Paint and finish concerns


Good luck! Keep us posted please.
 
I just saw this in another thread... I tried everything and eventually had to get the dealer to replace the bad parts under warranty. Sucks that this is happening so quickly. Mine was in this condition on the showroom floor so, there is an issue in the manufacturing and/or QA process.
 
I have this on my aluminum parts too. I think it is tree sap. It does something to the metal but it doesn’t do that to the paint. The sap comes off when you clean the bike’s painted parts but pits on the aluminum.

I polished the crap out of it with purple polish , it made it less noticeable,
still see it a bit. I reckon it will come back in a few weeks, wait and see I guess
