Kawasaki warranty disputes or requirements

[grego]

When I had issues with my bike (KRR150) they didn't want to know about it, the headlight reflector (internal) started peeling away, they were only going to cover it if it caused the bike to fail a WOF - and yes I did take it to the dealers every service interval to have the headlight fluid topped up.

topping up the headlight fluid ????????
Shit , just what did " squick the rat" put into that pipe ???

Some good shit!

My point was if you do it yourself you run the risk of having to prove u did actually change the oil at 10000km. A dealer stamp (any dealer or qualified service person) is an easy way of proving it was done.

Joe Bloggs saying "yeah sure I stuck to the schedule" may not be as easy to win.

As usual the kiwi's get shafted. Kawasaki saying "must be done by authorised dealer" to wrigge out of warranty claims is illegal in most other countries. Fucked if I'll be buying a kwaker again soon.

Point taken you are right. Of course I keep the receipt of the purchase of good quality oil and the original Kawasaki olifilter. I am not really looking for a dispute, I just hate to get shafted by established traditions, when obviously the manufacturer , who after all printed the bloody manual, has different ideas than the local importer.

thanks for you input.
stay high !
