My dealership where I bought my 450ss told me that it won't void the warranty if you do your own maintenance. But if they found out that the maintenance that you did causes some issues then warranty won't cover it.
3 years 3 CFMOTO motorcycles, over 30k Km with them, now just got my third CFMOTO 1 month ago, I never had issues with warranty, never issues with them in general, I just make all services and oil changes by the book of each motorcycle, book that comes in the aplication when you register your CFMOTO, with a CFMOTO representative, very cheap, very fast everything. Cyprus country, UE. I changed a LED signal on 300NK on warranty and I got 1 free service on warranty because an engine error... As example an oil change with oil filter costs 25 Euros, I don't want to compare with same size engine Suzuki or Honda 60 euros for same thing, oil + oil filter at their representatives. ✌✌
In the US there’s the Magnuson-Moss Act which prohibits any manufacturer from being allowed to void a warranty because the owner chooses to do their own maintenance. Just keep receipts and if they try to deny it then take them to court. The same Act covers those stupid “void of removed” stickers. Anything from electronics to cars.
Even though I have changed the oil in my cars for over 40 years, I just let the dealer do the maintenance until the warranty expires. Not worth the headache of any dispute.
I disagree. I will not allow these corrupt corporations to act illegally and will not pay their exorbitant prices, and will happily fight them when they act unconstitutionally.
I just got mine this weekend. Ive been told i need to take it back to the dealer for my first service. So they can do a full nut and bolt check as well. 380nzd
I’m not gonna say you can or you can’t but normally the failure has to be traced to what caused it and a slip on exhaust is more likely than not to cause any damage
I live in Europe in 3 countries, totally fake statement , I bought over 20 motorcycles in Europe from Honda and Kavasaki in 3 countries in last 7 years, never heard about warranty more than 2 years for both Honda and Kavasaki, and warranty covers only defects in materials or workmanship under "normal use" and maintenance!
@@MotoTraumathen I don't know in which countries you lived, but this is the case in the Netherlands, France and Germany. Should you first check the site before saying something is not true?
@@MotoTrauma very strange. If you simply look at the dealer site, this information is public. but I will not argue further with anyone who believes just his opinion is right.
I have 2 words for USA purchasers-Magnuson-Moss. This ruling interpretation protects purchasers from tyrannical dealerships/corporations/manufacturers being predatory to have to pay inflated repair/maintenance costs by being to self-repair and self-maintenance. As a purchaser, of course, you need to keep receipts as was stated in this awesome video, but that is even burdensome IMHO. I am fortunate and am connected with multiple high-profile lawyers where I live so I have more confidence in these things, but they legally CANNOT tell you that you can't self service or self repair. Warranty work, of course, is up to manufacturer specifications. HOWEVER CFMOTO does state that exhaust modification does void your warranty, so be sure to never ride/haul your bike to your dealership without the stock exhaust installed correctly.
Bro HONDA sel motorcycle in my country and had an SERIOUS issue from frame RUST + thin engine block makes easy to break or blow + thin plastic (already claimed lot of victims) and Honda won't recall or fix the problem instead they just give 5 year warranty after the problem but that warranty is useless because Honda won't listen when somebody claim it . And also Honda has tilted rear fender even in flagship version . Now Chinese bike are getting better and better
I just don’t to find out. I’ll stick to the bikes whose design they ripped off. But hey, buy chinese if you want. Everyone rides what they want. Problem solved.
TJ spitting facts and yes i love my 450ss
Was just looking for this, my dealer told me I had to do my first service and every 3rd oil change through the dealer to keep the factory warranty
That’s odd, I wonder what they would be doing different every 3rd oil change than anyone is capable of doing on their own
They just want your money and get their techs paid.
Straight lie. Go ahead and google Magnusson-Moss and go back to the dealership enlightened to tell them they can kiss your [fill in the blank]

Thats good information to know!
But what about federal jail time for removing the tag from a mattress? I'm still in hiding. :)
Make a video on the ride app and GPS because there's a problem staying connected
Actually thats not a bad idea, I havent tried it at all yet. I have heard its pretty bad though 😂

I just had a run in with some bad shops and ever since then I have trust issues 😅

I do mine but I order their filter and oil via the dealership. It’s $50.

If you can afford it, it is worth it, but you are under NO obligation to use them for the routine maintenance, if you live in the USA.
This is the same bike with the KO exhaust you installed a couple weeks ago?
Yes it is
I wonder if installing aftermarket Exhaust will void the warranty?>
I’m not gonna say you can or you can’t but normally the failure has to be traced to what caused it and a slip on exhaust is more likely than not to cause any damage
Here in Europe the guarantee lasts much longer. Kawasaki has 4 years and Honda even 5 😅
Man I wish

Now Chinese bike are getting better and better
Wow that’s insane, you would think a company with a reputation like Honda would make it right
I want this exact bike sooo bad and how old are you bro
Thats an odd question 😅 but I definitely recommend this bike if your looking to get one. Loving it so far
If you don't have a good bit of experience AND discipline with the throttle this bike is not for you...yet.
@switcherlp780 ive been riding motorcycle off all kinds since i was 11
triumph do a 2 year unlimited milage warranty
As do cf, however services have to be done by an authorized dealer and any mods that correlate to an issue or failure null and void it
That would have been good to know when my triumph started having issue 😂
Or just buy a Japanese bike and you never have to use the warranty
Let’s hope I never have too 😅
I just don’t to find out. I’ll stick to the bikes whose design they ripped off. But hey, buy chinese if you want. Everyone rides what they want. Problem solved.
All sport bikes rip off each others design and look very similar honestly but your right people should enjoy the bike they have 🤘
450SR was designed by Kiska, so who did kiska copy?
and yet here you are bitching about foreign goods lmao
