Scooterotica

Lots of good answers and some interesting theories and solutions.

Looking at the picture again, the damage seems have happened on the outside of the flap, going against the tyre wear theory. I would suggest third party damage (has a chemical spilt on it or some other external form of heat source?).

Nope, it's the tyre. The flap has been caught up between the frame and tyre, therefore causing the wear on the outside of the flap, it's happened to me on softer rubber flaps although all the other previous answers are possible too The answer is to find a mudflap made of firmer rubber to stop this happening in the future.

was it made by scwable ?

There's your answer. Is it the stainless steel one?
Wrong polish..

That's obvious to everyone, surely??

Never heard of that happening before

Best answer yet

Rubber... flaps... mounting... nuts... sucked off... hole... flaccid... flange... make your own sentence and I'm sure the reason is in there somewhere!
