Anyone had a similar issue?
The side winglets have started to yellow, on a 2017 Tiger Sport. Bought from Triumph as an ex demo. First thought it was the reflection from the fluorescent yellow striping on the fairing.
Noticed at Boxhill the other evening another 2017 Sport, whose were still nice and clear.
Tried the usual cleaning methods without any joy.

most likely UV yellowing, try a plastic polish, like is used for auto headlights.

Sadly no joy with the headlight restoring polish.
