I have a 2012 GTR that has rust on the tank under the seat which has spread down the side,
Garages bike .. rides all year but never left out in the rain... anyone else suffered this problem???
If the rust is towards the rear of the tank, near to where the two cushions are situated then this was a common occurrence on earlier GTRs (2008--2009) I'm not aware of others with this problem on later (2012) bikes
I think Charlie 747 had this problem on his 2010 model,
Its a problem with most of our bikes. My 08 too i just put some oil on a rag n rubbed it in to the area n ive had no more probs since. Think the paints not thick enough to start with 😒😒 you could use a drop of jenolite rust care. Itll stop it chemically in its tracks 👍👍
Yeah I believe Charlie did experience this problem and after a lot of grief he got the tank exchanged under warranty.

Correct Martin.
Rust in seams at weld points after a very short period of time from 1st reg date. Discovered it on my way to my first annual meet :scooter:
Poor prep work prior to painting
Had it happen to mine and just used some rust sealer on it after I tore off that stupid foam (traps the water). If I do wash the bike on those very rare occasions, I take the seat off and wipe the tank dry. It hasn't got worse.
