My cylinders are in a bit of a mess!
Have a look at these pics....

It was new in Aug 2014, so its mid way thru its 3rd winter. It lives outside and I ride all year.
I have a hose right by where I park my bike and always wash her down if she's been out in the wet. Extra thoroughly in winter.
It's just the cylinders really, the cases and Cylinder heads all seem to be holding up quite well. I had the spark plug manifolds re-placed under warranty for the same problem.
I understand that things age but I'm a little disappointed with the quality of the paint. Is that un-reasonable?
I'm out of warranty by 6 months now, so it's all academic really.
I was thinking of painting them in situ with a HT Black satin paint. Not ideal but it's got to be better than them looking all scabby like that. Especially as the rest of the bike looks so nice....
