Make of that what you will, Adrian Flux only ask you to declare mods to the engine, frame or fairing which is sensible
It depends entirely on the insurance company! If they have it stated in the policy that you must declare mods and then don't then you haven't complied with the conditions of the insurance and it can be voided! Hence why I always play it safe with them.

If the company does kick up a fuss, the most likely option is that you'll be asked to pay the difference between a premium without mods, and with mods, before the claim is allowed to proceed

I declare everything, but it didnt affect my premium one iota!
Wouldnt feel right riding the bike, thinkn the insurance company had a 'get out of paying' clause coz i didnt declare!

See above example, no insurer in the land wouldn't want you to declare a disqualification within the relevant time period, and yet the claim was allowed to proceed

And see my post and read the first line. It depends on the insurer. I have seen examples where the outcome wasn't so positive.

Would you inform them if you changed something as concealed as say fork springs?
