Hi guys - I recently bought a 2023 V100S (I’m the second owner). There is some paint bubbling on the rocker covers that is the subject of an existing (approved) warranty claim, but there’s also some engine paint bubbling near the bottom of the engine and on the front on the timing cover. I’ve contacted a local dealer and asked them to lodge a claim on my behalf - he assures me he has done so but commented ‘once they start bubbling it’s difficult to stop it coming back’. Anyone here been through this process? How long did it take to resolve and was it resolved to your satisfaction ? TIA. in the meantime a bit of eye candy with the pannier lids, fender extender, and hugger painted to match the bike.

A friend of mine had paint bubbling on his BMW 1250……they replaced the whole engine under warrantee!!
Whilst that may have solved the problem it seems awfully wasteful and also makes me wonder if an R1250 engine is so cheap to BMW that it is less than the cost of some paint?
