Honda's apr always seems to high...i haven't even looked at yamahas

 

Doesn't that law that says if they can prove that the part caused the issue, then the warranty is voided, apply? Like on trucks?

I bought the extended warranty on my FZ, and im pretty sure it's still valid. Also got a tire warranty, which I've used several times

 

Bike loans are way too high to begin with. I didn't even let Honda financial make an offer to me. Went straight through USAA. Still a pretty high interest rate, but I'm still not paying much interest.

 

I was stupid and thought i wouldn't be able to afford modding the bike.

They talked me into it. What i didn't realize was that was the cost of my exhaust, jet kit, and air filter (plus several other things) that i was basically just giving them for nothing.

I called the dealership a few months later and they told me i could take it up with suzuki but there would be a fee for the warranty cancelation, that i wouldn't get all my money back, that it would take a long time to get anything back, and since it was past the 30days after the sail, they would likely just tell me to pound sand.

 

I bought the full warranty that even came with road side assistance. I read in the booklet that any modifications deemed "extensive" could be chosen as reason to void the warranty.

Me cutting the harness up likely voided that. Then cutting a giant hole in the air box likely sealed the deal. Not to mention tearing the carb off and rebuilding it, adding an air filter and a full stainless exhaust.....

 

Id say cutting the harness, yes, but other mods are reversible.. But thats me

 

Well. The only thing that sucks about having 0% is that it pays me nothing to send them more than the minimum payment. The only thing i gain is no longer having a payment once i reach the payoff. The payoff is the same whether i pay it off tomorrow or three years from now.

 

Technically, i cut the light side of the harness, so a new oem tail light and turn signals would fix that. But thats not the point. All the other shit had to have sealed the deal....

 

Understandable. Every now and then I throw some extra money at it. Hopefully I get it paid off in less than a year.

 

I own mine free and clear

 

I have never sent the minimum. Always 10-25% more.

Its my incentive for the next chapter. Whether that be drift missile or another bike, or both

 

And mine still has more miles on it than yours

 

And what year model is yours?

Yeah, I wish I would have paid it off when I had the chance instead of buying a bunch of furniture that the wife said we needed, but oh well.

 

These things happen when you get married entirely to early, champ.

 

Haha you call it early, I call it an investment. She'll be making more than I do fairly soon, then it's my turn!

 

2003 but low miles and still newer than my truck

 

Well shit, i can totally agree with that sentiment.

I need one with a great job that can spoil me!

 

Haha just a small bonus of being married. I'm lucky she likes going to college for a useful degree.

 

Unlike some of us....doing the artsy shit

 

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/2302

Basically if something is modified and it's determined that part is directly related to a failure, the warranty is void. Also if you fail to maintain something that breaks it can also void the warranty.
