Dont think I have ever seen one as bad as that even on 40 year old bikes
Get it done under warranty just to show Yamaha there is a problem the change to renthals.
Just out of curiosity, do you park it anywhere near the sea? It's really weird that you're getting so many rust problems. I used to live right on the beachfront in Rio, and everything I owned went rusty in a few weeks, because of the salty air.Just had the swing arm and wheels replaced under warranty because of rust and paint coming off wheels, the new swing arm has been on 3 week and the rust has returned in the same place as before so its going back after crimbow, 5700 notes i don't think this is cheap but some of you will think it is and you pay for what you get but the build quality is shit. i would be quite happier to pay a bit more for a better quality bike that will last one winter.
Bits i have had replaced under warranty so far. this is since may15
1 swing arm,rusty
2 stater switch x 3 sticking on
3 wheels, paint coming off after cleaning
4 water pipes x 2
It's strange. Almost everybody has reported a few spots of rust here and there, but you seem to have suffered every one of those, plus a few more of your own.no don't live near the sea it keep in a garage over night i am up and down the motorway everyday this could be the problem but still it shouldn't be rusting like it is, the day it came back from having the swing arm changed i cleaned it and ACF50 it and every week since.I really look after the bike has its my work horse, its cleaned every week serviced every 4000 miles i am dreading to think what its going to look like by the end of winter.
