I'd contact Suzuki. I know Triumph are very understanding despite warranty periods being over.

Its worth a shot just calling Suzuki directly although to be fair, it might be that rim tape thats caused the damage...

Why? They help to keep a load of cr*p off the engine. They help protect the engine casings from the typical Suzuki paint peeling.

Don't go over board with the pressure washer, it'll flush out the grease in the bearings in headstock, wheels, swingarm etc.

Better to ACF50 it and keep the lowers on
