Hot brake dust from rail cars used to do this to painted new vehicles, dunno if it is related here. Either that or low grade stainless steel, or both.

i did a quick search and here's a forum from 2010 talking about the issue: https://www.raptorforum.com/threads/2001-raptor-transmission-vs-yamaha.63797/

for the record I am not stating what happened to this OP is exactly my situation since there is about a 9 year difference, but the replies back up what I'm saying. it's mostly anecdotal, but still you get the point.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of the issues with the 2001 Raptor. I have a close friend that was top mechanic at our local dealer in 2001, I'll ask him what he remembers about this and whether the dealer and Yamaha warranteed the problem back then.
