Is your paint coming off the side case, in front of the crankcase too? just in front of the oil filler?

Sorry can't help but hopefully someone can... Pretty please.

Your kidding right? Its black engine paint!
Five minutes with some sandpaper to take off the bubbles, hold up some newspaper and spray with bikepot black heat resistant paint of your choice. Job done

Not on those models it's not, the later engines are a light grey. Or on mine, the side casings are black but the centre is dark grey. There's a wide variety of SV engine colours.

PJ1 do a colour called "Suzuki grey" in the engine paint- which I suspect will be the dark grey from the 99 and 00 SV crankcases.
