Yes. I had my clutch replaced under warranty, which technically, they weren't obligated to. I can't see that happening with a self-serviced bike in the warranty period.

The other thing is, an incompetent owner can still damage a bike, even if it's got FSH...

Nah, with receipts you just know bits have been bought, not what happened to them...

+ 1 to both comments, I have receipts for all sorts of things but that doesn't mean they went on/in to my bike!

Well the warranty is up on the Daytona now so I'm going to spend the service money on a tuneboy and genuine spares and do them all myself.
