I’ve got my machine snorkeled and vent lines extended and had to bring my machine in to get fixed and was thinking warranty would cover it. Honda denied most of my work because of it. They automatically assumed I was going in deep water. When there was never any indication of water in the engine. I did that for preventative measures. Sometimes yes you hit a deep hole or whatnot but im not out looking for the deepest spot.

Just wanna let ya know If you have to go for warranty work may want to put your stock breather and vent lines back to normal. Might save you some money and headache.

I had been wondering if they would void your warranty for that.

Try a different dealer!
Already done with now. Not sure it would have made a difference. Probably was the same Honda rep for our whole state. As we only have 4 dealers in the state (maybe 5). Oh well....

Hope it didn't hurt to bad. I was thinking of snorkeling mine. More for dust than water. Maybe put some hydrophobic filters in vent lines. I wonder if anyone has tried that?

$750. Not bad but wasn’t expecting to pay anything.

What was the work?
Front and rear diff seals. Crank case seal valve cover seal front and rear output shafts leaking. Although the front diff was my fault due to pinched vent line.
