Bottom Yoke Corrosion
Within a few months of purchasing my SV650S K3 in 2003 I noticed that the bottom yoke had rust stains on it,would this be covered by any sort of warranty?also the Exhuast seems abit rusty on the front and where the 2 pipes join,
Any Ideas? Bike has only done 3000 mls |

i have a k3 and the underneath of the bottom yoke is rusting there too. I have tryed scrubbing it off, but had no joy.
Now i just keep it clean and covered in chain lube but as said above, can a new one be fitted under the warantee??? SPeeeeDY |

Unfortunately this is perfectly normal and almost predictable for the SV. Being as it's so new you could try and get it changed under warranty. I know a few on this forum have managed it.
There only real cure for this is to get it lacquered. One of the disadvantages of buying a budget bike. |

mine also suffered within a few months, and when it was a few months old it was kept in a garage. Now its somewhat older and there's no garage , but the rusting on the yoke hasn't got all that much worse.
