Perch Posted May 25, 2009 #1 Posted May 25, 2009 I have a 2007 RSV purchased new in crate in June 2008. Washed and waxed today and noticed rust starting on welds on kickstand, crashbars etc. This bike has 2900 miles and is garage kept covered and covered when out overnight. Would this be covered as a warranty item?? Need to stop rust at weld joints before it gets out of control. Thanks to all at VentureRider for a great club and web page. Perch
wes0778 Posted May 25, 2009 #3 Posted May 25, 2009 Sounds like faulty factory prep and or paint and or Chrome plating
M61A1MECH Posted May 25, 2009 #4 Posted May 25, 2009 Only way to know for sure is take it in and ask. Do not be surprized if they say no it is not covered, if they say no, ask why nicely.
flb_78 Posted May 25, 2009 #5 Posted May 25, 2009 I don't see how rust could be covered under warranty but it never hurts to ask.
Jethroish Posted May 25, 2009 #6 Posted May 25, 2009 If you haven't already, try a little chrome polish on it. It may just be light surface rust.
