Paint damage on alternator cover

[Luimneach Abu]

Hi,
Haven?t been on in a while but noticed what looks like blistering of the paint on the alternator cover. I have installed an sc project crt slip on. Bike hasn?t had the ecu adjusted to suit the slip on, or am I mistaken and it doesn?t need it. My question being will the higher running temps cause this as there was no damage to the paint before.

That's been damaged and someone has touched it up with some paint............

Im almost positive it wasnt there until i spotted it this morning, have the bike since february and surely would have noticed it. Could the higher runnin temps have caused the repair to become apparent. I wonder if the dealership will come clean if thats the case lol

Like above. That?s clearly been damaged and a bad repair attempted. Paint blistering doesn?t look like that.

Thanks gents, looks like its an engine cover/protector and a conversation with the dealer. Putting forged wheels on her in a week, so will drop in the question.

You can see damage on the bolt to the bottom right too.

Bike is till under manufacturer and dealer warranty, but i would assume i'll get the you bought it like that line. Be nice to know if it went down the road or was dropped though.

Looks like a drop as it would look way worse sliding down tarmac

I take it you weren?t the owner from new?

Unfortunately not, previous owner was a sixty year old who only drove the bike in spain pffffft. The only sticking point is the dealers had the bike back twice which was delivered to them so could have happened en route to them or a drop in the workshop or tech on a test ride, who knows. It is what it is now. Prob end up getting the motorrad engine protectors, they should cover it up.
