SV650 warranty
Hi folks,
I have a 2016 SV650A L7 bought few months ago. I have basic mechanical skills so I wanted to do the maintenance myself (also because I had a previous bike heavily damaged by an official garage so I don't trust them anymore). Did all the maintenance from the schedule in my owner's manual. I stopped breathing since I received this response from Suzuki: Quote:

It's true for every manufacturer. With paperwork and an invoice they can prove the work was carried out as per their guidelines.
Just get a garage to service the oil for the sake of it to keep the warranty intact |

Re: SV650 warranty
I have bought 2 or 3 year old cars from main dealers with 'full main dealer service history' and have found clogged black air filters, black cabin filters, rusty oil filters etc. - If those cars have been near the service bay I will paint my nails pink and change my name to Mary.
Dealer service requirement is nowt but blackmail and money by extortion for doing nothing. I service my bikes (and cars, but never buy new cars anyway, always a couple of years old) from day one using quality products and keep receipts and am happy enough.

Is there any way to fix this? Is my warranty gone for good now? |

Re: SV650 warranty
Doubt you can do anything now. I had to fight Ford when they tried to worm out of a claim which was the previous owners fault for being a little late with the first year's service. I only got my way when I reminded the dealer that it was sold to me with "full" Ford service history.
As already said if you want a warranty you are effectively tied in. Like I suspect many people I use dealers until the warranty expires then do it myself or use a reputable indie.
