hi, nope that's not normal. yes mine has marks where the tyre has dragged stuff through and scrapes on the lower parts. as mine is used [for darren-abused] all year round, I seldom clean, when clean apply acf50.

is there any warranty? gulgo had his swingarm replaced when paint came off.

worse case scenario clean to bare metal, roughen with 320 grade sand paper, apply self etch base coat, then black paint finish. job done
