Ok, I've had my IRON 883 for a while now and have been really wanting the 1250 kit from NRHS.
I know it will void my warranty...should I be worried???
How many of y'all have done this with no worries about the warranty??
Or are you waiting for it to expire before doing it??
I just can't make up my mind.
I love my IRON, but it would be sweeter with a 1250.
I don't haul *** around town or anything, but a little extra get up on the Interstate could be helpful.
Thoughts????

 

Me personally? I would add the kit and screw the warranty. I do all my own work on everything I own so I have never worried about a warranty. BUT THATS ME!

I have also modified everything I have.

 

All of the warranty will be valid except for what you modify.

 

Is the warranty included in the price or do you have the option to purchase it? How much is it if so?

 

Yes, some dealers might try to tell you the warranty is void, but there is a little Federal law...Magnum-Moss I believe is the law, that will kinda overrule anything a dealer says.

I have NO financial interest in NRHS, nor do I know anybody there, except for their helpful advice over the phone. I have the 1250 kit, and I would go for it. Only problem is you might need to upgrade that crappy stock clutch. After the break in miles on my 1250, the first time I gave it a good twist...it smoked the stock clutch. That is NO longer a problem.

Oh, and I should mention that was the second clutch, and it was kinda on it's last leg anyway. That stock clutch REALLY sucks if you plan to put more than 20,000 miles on a Sporty. You can do a search on here, and see some my my clutch problems, pictures and explanations of the **** poor design.

 

Yes and no. If you modify your engine for more power and your trans breaks, they can claim that your modification stressed the trans more or the rear end, etc, etc and thus are able to void your warranty. OTOH, if your wiper blades are say Bosch Icons, GM cannot say that your differential broke because of that. Is there a grey area? Sure. They can stick to that and if you want to fight it, feel free. Although it might cost more than the fix is worth.

And with your 1250 kit, they can claim that it stressed the clutch for more than it was designed for and thus YOUR fault. After all, I never sold you a 1250 so why should I be responsible for how it works or breaks your ride? Fair is fair.

That said, I do agree with NRHS that if they designed the kit well and your tuning is good, it should be fine. That said, if you think I am going to be afraid to mod the vehicle, you would be wrong. I have to be willing to take the risks as they might be. If you wanna play, you got to be prepared to pay. It is that simple. If you are not willing to pay, don't play.

 

I wish I could afford a 1250 kit. Once I get a real job maybe...school loans first though dammit.

 

If You Are Ammo You Are ****!

Haha, i'm kidding. I'm a weapons troop

(OP will understand)

 

I talked with you over email about this a couple of weeks ago and I have no reason to doubt you. I was just trying to talk myself into getting it I guess.
I'll wait a couple of months and then dive in I'm sure, I'll be in touch!!!!!!
