Ownership? What does that have to do with it? When I was a kid, I read a lot of books regarding the Space Shuttle . I never owned one. Facts dont change because of ownership. In fact, I went out of my way to avoid these systems. I wanted to modify my bike, and the new electronic systems are not forgiving, to modifications. That's bot a bad thing. The system has to be extremely accurate with regards to how it functions.
When I modded my bike, I did so with the understanding that a failure of one of my brilliant ideas was on me, not the manufacturer. I would be embarrassed to ask for warranty on a piece of the bike I modified. Modifications meant I needed to man up and not look to be bailed out when something went wrong. That was especially true after I worked on it.
I hope it is covered. Hell, I hope they owe you money, after the visit, but dont do the Magnuson Moss thing. You cant be that naive? Heres how that works. A shop denies your warranty claim because you used an unauthorized, aftermarket part. That falls into the category of I can show you the paragraph, in the owners manual, where it says you need to use the same type of tire. Chapter 12, page 32. That part just mentions the abs system, but its there. Guess what tire is recommended. 190/50.
"Use of non-recommended tires may cause malfunc-
tioning of ABS and can lead to extended braking
distance resulting in an accident causing serious
injury or death. Always use recommended stan-
dard tires for this motorcycle."
So, the shop denies you claim, based on facts. The shop has experienced lawyers on their side. They have done this a hundred times. Ive been involved in this. Once they deny your claim, you'll have 2 choices. Pay the bill, or look for one of the Lawers who has dedicated their life to defending your warranty rights, for no charge. That's not going to happen. You will have to give them a check. If you win, you can get his money back...six months, or a year later. I'm not sure where your bike sits, during this time. If you leave it at the shop, count on storage fees in addition to the others. Option 2 is, you lose. You will have paid the court costs, your lawyer, and still have a broken bike. People think theres some magical part of government who cares about your warranty. There really isnt, on a 1 for 1 basis. You'll be standing there...dick in one hand, checkbook in the other, if they decide your modifications caused, or contributed to this issue.
The act was written so that the manufacturers could not force you to use their service department, or buy their oils and filters in order to have a valid warranty.
it's probably solvable by adjusting the tps'-s baseline setting, just like we had to do with our original power comander tunes. This setting was sensitive. None of them were set precisely, from the factory. Yours is probably high, or low. Not enough to cause issues with a standard tire, but off just enough to cause issues with the slightly larger tire.
