Well, just got a shock today, glad it wasn't for me.
My brother was at his Beemer dealer to pick up his bike. The service manager was just getting off the phone and talking to a customer. The customer had his bike in because the tranny had broken and took out the drive line with it (or vice versa). Conversation was something like this.
Service: Nope, they won't cover it.
Owner: Why?
Service: You modified your bike.
Owner: What mod? You mean the slip on muffler?
Service: Yes. The warranty language specifically says you can't modify the mechanical parts of the bike or the warranty is void. Changing any part of the exhaust system is considered one of those mods that will void the warranty.
This was not the BMW warranty. It was an aftermarket insurance deal. Just something to be aware of.
