It looks like the warranty is very good from the way they repair paint etc as i just saw the triumph warranty & this is not covered

10. The motorcycles exhaust silencers are warranted for 12 months from the commencement of the general motorcycle warranty. During this 12 month warranty period, internal corrosion or deformation of internal baffles are excluded from the warranty. After this 12 month period, the motorcycle silencers are excluded from the terms of this warranty

11. Other items excluded from warranty are seats, luggage, paint, chrome, polished aluminum items, or trim deterioration caused by normal wear and tear, exposure or lack of correct maintenance.

I think you are reading it wrongly - its paint etc "deterioration caused by normal wear and tear, exposure or lack of correct maintenance"

Had the same thing on my BMW car - bird shit if left on the paint eats through it and BMW dont cover the claim. Neither do any of the other car makers with the modern water based paint systems. They say you should wash it off within a day or so and use protective polish. Car polishing is a complete waste of time in my book!

I reckon BMW bikes are being very good about painted engine covers since there is no fault there - the corrosion is inherent in painted aly and happens to jap bikes too.
