I was thinking I wouldn't mind if my 2017MY EX engine was non-painted like that of Alfgaxaticos (shown in this post) and the newer 2019/20 MY EX.

I gave it a wash yesterday and noticed another patch of silver paint peeling off around the valve cover at the front. It is already pretty patchy underneath. For a bike that is just three years old and not quite 9.5K Km on the clock that is a pretty poor.

How is anyone else faring in that department?

Just purchased a 2018 EX, it hasnt been very well looked afer cleanleness wise but I notice the same, patch or two of silver paint lifting.
On this note, what is everyone using to restore and keep the engine black looking good? I have previously just used spray silicone / tyre shine, but note Harley Davidson offer a product for this purpose, anyone tried etc?
