Rust? Flux? Should I worry?

[Dave70]

So, while giving the bike it's post winter clean down (one can hope), I noticed what appears to be rust around the base of the shock.

Basically, I'm asking the more knowledgeable folk of BCF if I should be concerned.

The bike's my ER6f and is just under a year old and has under 2,700 miles on it. It does live outside but is covered. It does get ridden in the wet as it's my commute bike and I covered most of it in ACF 50.

Spray some ACF50 on, will be reet

Spray on some penetrating oil, attack with toothbrush, dry off and apply ACF50 with same brush.

Looks like the paint is blistering off the bottom washer too, if you give it a poke with a screwdriver, I suspect it'll come off.

Is Japanese motorbike, they only put one layer of paint on these bits.

No I wouldn't worry it's a bike it lives outside and is used as daily transport it isn't going to remain in a pristine condition.

Unless you're one of those types who ride to and from the local bike cafe once/twice a year nodding at everyone and anyone kidding yourself that you're a real biker.

Edit - Forgot to mark your initial post as off topic.
