Thanks to all for the replies so far.

Latest position is the sv is going in for it's first service in a week at which time the dealer is going to take photos of the area the paint is flaking off (all around left crankcase in region of engine number), and email them to suzuki for a response.

Looks like the options (if passed by warranty dept) are:

1) Replace crankcase
2) Dealer will repaint the crankcase
3) Dealer will outsource to local "paintshop"

I haven't decided yet if i will re-paint it myself. Have looked around but cannot seem to find a colour match in aerosols near to the original silver engine case finish.
