Paint Flaking?
While giving my bike a quick clean yesterday evening, I spotted something that I didn't notice when I cleaned it about a week ago, at the bottom of the front fork!
 It looks like paint flaking, but I'm not 100% sure? And if anyone else has experienced this, is there anything that can be done to stop it getting worse? |

Re: Paint Flaking?

Re: Paint Flaking?
The forks on Liz's bike did that. We reported it to Suzuki whislst it was still in its warranty period and they replaced the fork lowers FOC.
Took a bit of persistance on our part, but they did get it done eventually, if your bike is in warranty might be worth a go ?

Re: Paint Flaking?
If its still under warranty give Suzuki a try! Other than that you have to options, one is to strip them down and polish, and the other is to strip them down and paint/powdercoat. If your Pointy is a black framed one nows your chance to paint the forks black to match, never figured out why Suzuki do not do this!
