Started noticing that paint are flaking/peeling off the left side of my vertical cylinder, near the spark plug. It getting worse and worse. Anybody else having the same problem? Showed it to my dealer and they said that it isnt normal and that they will change the whole cylinder later this fall. Pretty shitty for a bike that has 1600 miles on the ODO.
Now to the weird thing. Heard a strange sound coming from the rear hub when coming to a stop yesterday. Turned off the engine when I got home and rolled the bike by hand back and fourth. It sounded that if there was a loose bolt inside the hub that rolled around, no idea what it could be but it was super annoying. Went to the dealer this morning and they took off the rear wheel and checked. It turned out to be a large chunk of aluminum that had been left from the casting of the wheel and had come loose and caused the rattle?! I will take a picture of the aluminum tumour when they pick it out, they couldnt remove it without taking the bearing out and they didnt have a new one on the shelf, so I have to wait...
