Frustrated with warranty feedback on my 07...
Called the MC today to inquire warranty information and was not pleased with what i heard.
Since I have added a race tuner and slip-ons, engine failures would not be covered under warranty.... So if the heating issues kill my engine (havent seen any report complete failures...i understand that), i'm on my own because of the mods the dealer did before delivery. When I asked how the dealers could tell me it would not impact the warranty at the time of the sale?... "they are independants".
Just sounds like a big round robin to me.... EPA says... HD, you have to conform to these regulation, HD says... well, we can do that, but our product is going to have to be modded to work properly and passes it on to the consumer, the consumer then mods the bike to correct the short falls placed on by the feds... but when you do, it impacts your warranty...
So let me get this right, you were told you had to do somthing to sell your product in the USA and instead of compliing and possibly allienating a certain %s of your client base by changing design, you decide to release a product you know to be faulty and leave it up to the consumer to spend more money correcting it only to tell them to fuock off when it blows....
I called my dealer and was told my Perferred Customer would cover ANYTHING, during the 3 years and not worry about it. That is comforting to know.. but i have read so many different things on here that after hearing it myself, I would have made different decisions in my purchases....
Man, i guess that perferred customer just keeps paying for itself...

If your dealer says they'll cover it, then they probably will. It varies from dealer to dealer. The MoCo is just spouting the company line. I've never taken any stock in an HD warranty, and luckily haven't needed it with 4 bikes with 4 different engines.

Rainmaker, the warrantor is required to prove that the failure was caused by your modifications before they can refuse to cover therepairs. It can't be used to stop your modifications, only to exempt them if your modifications are causing failures. The 1975 Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is federal law. It sounds like you will need an attorney to do the legwork on this one for you.
