I was cleaning my xtx 07 today and the paint on the swingarm started to flake off has anybody else had this problem and would my warranty cover me

Looks like corrosion to me, I would take it back to the dealer to see what they say.

When I picked up my new Ten on Thursday the dealer mentioned that they had successfully managed to get warranty claims for 'little' things like finish and basically advised that if I had any issues with this that they would be happy to look for me. I would imagine that as long as you can get the dealer to agree this could be fixed under warranty.

I thought that was pretty good of them, especially since I expect to be covering 40-50k miles during my warranty period

Been to the Yamaha dealers on saturday i was told it should be no problem, Photo taken just waiting to hear from Yamaha now Hopefully a new swingarm.

I would not expect much joy out of them to be honest as i tried getting my bike sorted through them for surging problems and even wrote letters to the managing director and they just said there is nothing wrong with the bike and don`t recognise any faults with there ecu`s.
good luck anyway.
