Corrision to engine casings

Hi Everyone,
I have approached Yamaha UK (Customer Services) to complain about corrision to outter and inner engine casings on my FEB 07 XTR (9k miles - used daily). This is really quiet extensive, and not just where you might expect it (underneath and hidden away spots) but on upper casings as well. They have advised me to visit the Dealer I bought it from new, who have taken pictures and are sending these back to Yamaha Customer Services. As yet I don't know what the outcome will be - the bike is still under warrenty - so I might get new engine casings. Has anywone else suffered from corrision like this? Could it have been a "batch" production problem, in which case there are likely to be a few more bikes out-there that might be affected.

Regards,
Tomo7
