Default Camo durability question

The problems I encountered started as a small chip or flake and continued to peel without any effort at all. But my local Yamastore was more than helpfull putting through a warranty claim. $700 front fenders later I was a happy customer again.

I will make sure they see it at my 20 hours service..I will deny any tree encounters ...you couldn't tell any way, there is no scratching or anything either.

You know what's funny is that even the soft stream from a garden hose without a sprayer would peel the camo off in 1" square patches after the surface was broke.

Like I said earlier I guess they just chalked it up to poor adhesion.

I'll have to use a garden hose as soon as its warm, hopefully I can test it, I think my problem is from rubbing off of trees ..but if it does that since I've started the peeling..it will be become their problem, not mine.

The Kodiak I had rubbed off on trees too, but it did not peel from that point. Very durable.

good to hear..I'll just have to cary a chainsaw..
If my knee wasnt F-ed up I would be able to throw my weight around more and probably avoid some of the rubbing, but if it doesnt spread I dont care. I plan on keeping this quad for atleast 5 years.
