engine casings

Hello everybody,looks like i'm joining the queue with the dodgy paint job on the engine.
I've got an 08 XTR and just after washing it yesterday some of the paint has started to come off,looks like the ally underneath the paint has started to corrode and is attacking the paint!.
I've only done 4000 miles, and once she has been out in the wet.It's never been off road.
I'm going to leave it another month and then it's time to take it back.
Both engine casings and covers have started to bubble.
I thought i'd try something different from a Honda,looks like it's going to be an expensive lesson.I had the same CBR for 7 years and not even a bit of corrosion on it.
This is going to be my first and LAST Yamaha.Never again.
