front forks - finish coming off.

[mountainhorsega]

Any one else having the clear finish coming off of the forks? 06 TD. right fork - finish is gone. Noticed it was hazy and flaky last time we washed it and, it just started coming off. Clear coat on the left one is hazy and I am sure will do the same thing soon. Had the dealer call Yamaha and Atlanta said it looked like something had rubbed the finish off (It was me when I washed it noticed it flaking). going to see if anyone else has had this before we call corporate and start with them. or just wait for the left one to flake more and before I wash it - take it in so they can wash the flakes off of it.

Go by Lowes and get the Alum polish they have there by the pickup tool boxes. You can clean all the clearcoat off and polish them up like chrome. You'll just need to re polish them every once in a while after that. I used a buffer wheel on a drill to speed it up. If they are under warranty still ,have them replaced

replace them that is. They could be polished up easy enough but then they don't match the uppers and getting in all those nooks and crannies around the calipers and fender could be a pain. Going to try corporate and see if they wont stand behind the finish (regional rep won't, I already tried)
