1200 Engine Casing Paint Flaking - Covers?

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by Kirky, Mar 24, 2019.

  1. I have just noticed a small area where my boot has rubbed engine paint off and nearby the paint is starting to bubble with corrosion. I see R&G do engine covers which I have on my Husqvarna and do a good job. Has anyone tried them out on the Multi?
     
  2. OK I'll be the pioneer then. R&G cover ordered.

  5. Both my last 2 ducati engines had paint peeling on them.

    It didn’t really bother me (per se) but it is a bit “chip shop” for a premium product.
     
  6. My bike has also paint flaking but from the LH side under the water pump cover. I searched online and didn't find any covers other than the water pump cover only. Anyone has any info onn other covers that do the trick?

  7. Pretty sure R&G do these.
     
  8. yes r&g do as do ducabike (conquest racing) isn because the foam backing behind cover holds water
     
  9. meng, wrong thread. Unlike the DVTs the earlier bikes do not have a plastic cover with foam behind it.

    Corrosion on these covers is due to stone chips, and a crap base paint coat (if there is one).
    If the factory etch primed the cases in the bigging all would be well, but they dont.
