After reading this, I went and pulled the cover on my 2015 F3 SM6. There's no red rust. The mileage is 20080. I don't know anything about the history of the bike. I've had it since the 4th of June. I plan to pull it at the 28k service and lube it with moly paste and use a new bolt. As a gold wing rider for years, I'm surprised it's not a requirement about the moly paste. It's been a requirement on the gold wings for many years.
