                  No recall, nothing. I pointed out this at two SVCs. They rub it off. Then within few days, the rust comes back. Contacted suzuki via email. They asked me to take the bike to nearest svc for inspection. Again same procedure - rubbing off. Again after few days, rust reappeared.
                  Then i tweeted the issue to [MENTION=24984]Suzuki[/MENTION]2wheelers; raised a complaint through website, and tweeted the complaint reference number. Later svc rang me up and asked me to send the photos, which i did. The service engineer later informed me that they cant do anything about it.

                  I am left stranded. Don't know what to do. Feeling ditched...

                    That's the service center to be blamed.. They are ignoring orders i see.. Because suzuki officially announced the replacement.. It would be good if you showed them the news

                      Not common. It's been one year since I'm owning Gixxer. No such problem with my Gixxer

                        Try to get it replaced at another service center. Actually some service centres are worst in terms of customer service. So try other service center

                          I would say go to SVC and then change it.may cost you some money.SVC are hopeless when it comes to warranty claim .

                            So do I but I do not have this.

                            Hard fact: that's just the paint quality.

                              Absolutely its the paint quality...reason for paint peeling off at that point of grab rail may be because of bike cover.

                                I may as well say it's not the bike cover because I use a bike cover and I don't face the issue. Few others may also be out there without facing this issue despite using bike covers. But it's weird to see those tiny points without paint. I can't think of a reason clearly.

                                From an assertive 'it's the bike cover' in the previous post to 'may be because of bike cover' now eh?

                                Haha check with other darker colors. I feel it could be the case for fewer pieces.

                                I can show you exceptions like this. The front suspension in my bike is matte black and it's the case for only a few others; perhaps they are of the same batch. Very hard to spot on road. Prolly one of you guys could have one too. Most gixxers have shiny-black front suspension. The shinier ones face paint peel-off easily even though they run on smooth roads without dirt. This is weird too in my view point haha.
