I am glad you got your machine back together. The transparency sucks about the warranty. I can say it is a two way street though. When you find a reputable dealer the warranty allows them to get away with a little more coverage if you find someone willing to work with you and not blame you the user for the damages. Just as an example I have heard of dealers who refuse warrant work on machines when a lift is added. I asked alot of questions during my search for machine. I had one Honda salesman tell me if I added any aftermarket performance part it voided my warranty. I had a different Honda salesman tell me they would review the parts I added and if they felt it caused the damage they would refuse the warranty work. Then I spoke and made my purchase from a powersports dealer and was basically told stick to these brand name parts for my add ons and they will take care of me. They told me they install aftermarket parts on new machines all the time and would make sure I am taken care of. They cautioned the only thing they can't cover under Honda warranty is the actual aftermarket part. I was like that sounds exactly how it should be. I also spoke to not just the salesman but the service tech and the parts employee. I feel I found a reputable dealer.
