I hear what you're saying, but the problem is it may or may not be true. I don't know what it's like in Canada, but here in the Disunited States, you hear different things from different dealers.
One dealer may deny a warranty claim that it swore up and down it would honor. That's just the way it is. There are tons of stories on this forum about the confusion and dishonesty of the Harley warranty. The only absolutely sure way to keep it intact is to stay with HD parts AND labor.
And please god don't let's get into another discussion about the The Magnuson-Moss Act.

btw warranty here in Canada is the same as the US , it's all from HD , not the dealer .

Dealers have a ****-load of leeway in deciding what warranty stuff to honor and what to reject. Every try calling HD corporate for help on ANYTHING? Let me give you a tip: you won't get very far.

My experience in Canada has been absolutely no issues getting warranty work done with a full stage 1 installed including FP3
Remember the EPA agreement applies to the US only. I believe that to be the case at at least one Canadian dealer has confirmed it.
Of course YMMV

Read the owners manual. It says more then once that the dealer cannot make promises above the stated warranty, the dealer does not speak for the motor company. Please read the owners manual.
Your dealer will say anything to get you to buy. And most stand by their word.
As long as you take it back to them.
FP3 is a warranty killer here in Canada as well. It crosses the line.
But we get away with pipes and air cleaners.

Dealers have no leeway at all. Your warranty is with the manufacter.

Read what you just wrote about the FP3. Now read what your fellow Canuck says about his FP3. Does that not tell you something?
Dude, I'm just trying to tell you that, at least here in the good ol US, the Harley warranty is a very slippery slope and VERY dependent on what the individual dealers feel like that day. If you've had good experiences in Canada, then good all over you.
