Bought my new GSA Rally in March and when it went in for the 60 miles service the number plate was delaminating (the silver grey backing was coming away on the right hand side allowing water to get in).
The plate was replaced at the first service in April but last Friday I noticed that I had an incorrect letter on my replacement plate which was also delaminating just like the first.
Second plate replaced and rode home and by the time I got home the third plate was beginning to seperate in the same area.
I've been riding bikes for almost 50 years and never had this problem before and I've done nothing different (ie cleaning) to this bike compared to the rest..........yet 3 plates have failed on this bike and only this bike.
The dealership seem to think it could be heat from the exhaust causing the delamination (logical) but the 17 plate GS I traded for this bike didn't have this problem.
It's not a big deal but I'm just curious if this is a common problem with heat from the exhaust on an 18 model or is it just me?
