Still Naaaa ... not with slip ons.
Theres a act that I always forget the name of .. you probably know it .. I want to say Mckesson .. but thats not it.. thats the health care people.
At any rate, the manufacturer has to PROVE the mod caused an issue.
If we use "any" literally, a cup holder - passenger arm rests - highway pegs.... all would void the contract unless a honda product and installed by a dealer, right ? The bike didnt come with those items and everyone does that work themselves right ? How bout lighting mods ?
In extreme, The manufacturer is talking about someone cracking open the block and doing for instance a stage 3 on the engine .. the engine blows up in warranty and the owner expects honda to be liable.
Its simply a muffler, no other bike warranty (Hondas, Yammys, Harleys included) have had warranties voided nor has any of my trucks. Nope. ... suppose we will have to agree to disagree my friend.
Wish I had addressed this issue also. What you are thinking of is the
MM act (Magnasum-Moss Act). This is one of the most misunderstood and misquoted acts that has ever existed to my knowledge.
If one reads the entire document and understands it's intent, you will find the situations I am discussing has absolutely nothing to do w/this act.
It will not be up to the dealer to prove the failure was caused by whatever is blamed, it will be up to you to prove it didn't.
While you may not know of any warranty claims denied(I never said voided warranties, as that is not the case)just for muffler change, I do and it happened to be on a Harley, not a Wing.
Any way, this discussion always turns into a back and forth "no way", "yes it will", "no it won't" so, I will end my posts here on this subject with this- the key word is
MAY most likely, if this comes up, it does not void the entire warranty. It will only mean a particular claim may be denied.
Have a good day.
