Interesting Discussion w/Dealer about modding 2017
Was told today that any 2017 engine mods other than HD Slip-ons or approved HD mods, voids the warranty. I said I'd just take them off and put on factory before bringing in. Reply was, Any warranty work requires an ECM download to be submitted before any work is approved. It will show any difference in fuel adjustments than what is a normal readings. Not sure if that is possible, but he had a rebuttal for pretty much anything I threw at him. Also said If readings are from a free flowing exhaust you better have a receipt from something that HD has that is approved.
I guess Maybe you could buy Street Cannons and put on whatever you want, just keep the receipt....

I was told the same from 3 different dealers. I believe the aftermarket is going to waste a lot of time and money testing and manufacturing aftermarket tuners and pipes and a lot of 17 owners will be pissed they threw away their warranty. The EPA is watching MOCO and will not let up.

Seems like some new sales training has gone out nationwide. My dealer down here in south Alabama has said the same story. Basically any non-dealer modifications void the warranty, and even furthermore that if non-oem bikes they won't work on them.
Might be a good time to start up your own indy shop.
It is sad to see the end of another era in the US. The days of bike building and customizing are now ending, and the only accessories you will buy will be engine covers and body modifications. What I wonder is if they will start not servicing pre-17 bikes if they are not stock as well?

For a lousy (to the MOCO) 15 million. It sounds more like an excuse to push Harley parts than the EPA twisting their arm and holding them against EPA guidelines, which I no doubt is also true. But I had a lifted jeep, tires, full exhaust and my dealer would never say no to warranty. Would it be different on motorcycles in general?
