So my warranty expired a month or so ago, and of course, I notice a problem the other day.
Two noticeable chips on top of the fuel tank. I'd think I'd remember dinging them, so concerned this just happened naturally. I keep my bike garaged, rarely ride in the rain, and I use soap/water (McGuires) to clean with a soft sponge. Never spill gas on it.
No other areas of my bike have chips or problem pain. Kinda strange just showed up on the top of my fuel tank.
I don't think you would have any luck with the factory on chips. I had a brand new bike and after a week i noticed the left side decal was sticking up out of the clear coat. Took it in and they called the factory and they said " no go " i might have buffed on the tank. Yea right on a brand new 1 week old bike. they suck, but give it a try. You got nothing to loose.
I'd be more worried about how you're going to remove that black magic marker!
Seriously, I know how you feel even though the paint chips on my bike happened while riding. I was lucky that I found a Sharpie color that matched the silver. Of course, it doesn't fill in the chips, but the color matches, so the chips aren't terribly noticeable.
Edit - Read the first post in this thread. There might be hope for you. Good luck!
I doubt they would warranty that, looks like a chip, even looks like some light scuffing in the pick also. Not nice to find, but won't be the last chip.
