DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHY THE HONDA FRAM CHIP OFF AT MOST OF THE WEILD AREAS?...
I WONDER IF THEY WERE NOT PREPPED GOOD ENOUGH:(

I think it's a combination of being difficult to prep for mass production and frame flex.

I did a bunch of touching up, mostly around the front part of the frame and the underside. Mine was real bad. Knocked off the loose paint and rust with a wire wheel on a drill and a dremel tool. Primed with a few coats automotive primer, painted with PJ-1, then a few coats of clear. All rattle cans.

It's holding up great, better than I thought it would. I've only been on a half dozen rides or so like this and mostly in the sand though.
