Some paint came off

[jScotD]

that looks bad, hope you get the issue resolved..

 

[smoky]

front damage....

You are obviously traveling a too high rate of speed thus causing wind friction to force the paint loose....the solution is obvious:roflblack:

 

[lookerjdc]

I see a yellow spot on the left edge of the 'bare' area but it doesnt look like a scuff mark

damn that baby needs a wash......:gaah::shocked::yikes:

Here are the pictures.. These are not the best. There are still bugs all over the front an makes the pictures look lie the front is all chipped up, but its not. I am gonna get the bike out an clean off the front real good an get some better ones.

How many miles are on this bike? The front end looks as if it has been sand blasted. That, plus improper use of the pressure washer could be the problem. I use a 2500 lb pressure washers all the time on my cars and trucks and have for years. I have never had or seen a problem except where a different problem already exists. Sand blasting or a poor repaint could lead to this kind of an issue. Maybe it was touched up before you bought it home.

Sandblasted?? Are you talking where the paint is missing?? As I stated before, it seems to be piss poor paint, cause our local car wash won't hardly cut mud off your car.

paint

I have always washed mine at a car wash close to home, and have had no problem. Hope you get things worked out.:spyder2:

The area above the damage looks as if it has been sand blasted by road debris in the pictures. It may be just the angle the camera was at when you took the pictures.

Paint defect

We have a 2102 RT limited. While cleaning, I noticed a small paint defect.About the size of this face: :sour:
It looked like the factory had painted over a piece of dust or something.
I was afraid it would eventually chip prematurely.
Took a bunch of pictures, sent it to my dealer, who sent them to BRP.
They authorized a new hood, which I had installed a couple weeks ago.

 

[kentuckyguy]

Told me that I needed to call BRP myself an talk to them.. I told him that I wanted them to see it first handed so that they new for sure that the bike hadnt hit anything.. Gonna try an call tomorrow after Dr app...

 

[jScotD]

good luck on both counts... sorry they seemed to pass the buck.. but maybe you will have better luck dealing one on one, hope so

:agree: and finding another dealer. When I bought my RS I noticed a scrape on the rim about two weeks after I bought it. I told them about it (had bike with me), they said they would see if BRP would warranty it, but wished I noticed it sooner. Went home and looked at the photos I took when I picked it up from the dealer. One shot had me and the salesman standing next to the wheel, and when I blew up the photo 800 times you could see the scrape. Gave a copy to the dealer who forwarded it to BRP. BRP then replaced rim. The fact that the dealer took responsibility and was the middleman was one reason why I bought my RT from them.

As for paint coming off I have not found anything, but only use a garden hose, sponge, and bucket to wash it.

Me Too

The exact same thing happened to me, and in the same place. Mine isn't quite as bad as yours. I had a piece about the size of a penny blow off.
