:'( My 1190 bolts are starting to show rust.  It seems that the zink electroplating on some of the bolts are of poor quality.  My friends in PE also complains about this on their 990 KTM's.  Is there a remedy besides removing them for electroplating?  Even the screws on the panels with black anodizing has corroded. Bike is only 3 years old and at the coast.  Wonder if KTM knows of this problem?  Strange I don't see anybody else complaining about this on this site? ???
