| Not sure about the bezel glass. I guess that's down to the discretion of the dealer and whether he wants to push it with Ducati UK?
Which side is the crankcase bubbling? It's usually the left hand side and I've found that there's usually two things causing the corrosion.
First is that one of the coolant hoses on that side has a small weep. This runs down the casing and starts it corroding. The other is that the clutch slave cylinder is leaking and the fluid eats the paint away. The only real way to solve the problem is either blast and repaint or replace.
If it's either of the latter problems, then I'd guess there coul dbe grounds for a warranty claim? Again, a lot depends on the dealer and the actual cause of the corrosion.
As to whether you should expect this?.........No. Mines done 18000miles and both cases are fine. |
