    2019 (Jan) Tiger 800. Has anyone else had same problem as follows? I have only done 3,800miles to date since new. While cleaning bike noticed front mudguard was loose. Removed the lower fork cowling to find the mudguard bracket had 'crumbled' ...yes I emphasise crumbled and I can only but describe the bracket as being extremely brittle and it continued to disintegrate (crumble) in my fingers. This is the UK so has not been exposed to exceptional infra red. It has not been subjected to any impact whatsoever.

    Is this poor quality manufacture and not fit for purpose item that should be replaced under warranty? I would very much appreciate forum comments before I take bike back to dealership. Is this an unusual situation or frequently arising?

    Thanks
