Is anyone else having this problem with the Gladiator?
Never had this with the Discover.

It seems like a common problem. Gladiator's predecessor Fazers also had this problem. As far as I have seen more or less those bikes had this issue. Try oil on those rusted areas and change the bolts if you need.

I am worried about the exhaust pipe leading to the engine.Seems like it's going to crack.I have tried a full bottle of Zorrik anti rust spray to no effect. Will try oil tomorrow and see if it does the trick.

It's the first model.Gladiator DLX.But I have seen the same problem on another Gladiator Type SS recently.Also I remember that bikeindia or topgear had a problem like this in their CBF Stunner.
