something dont sound right ???
I would ask to speak to the service manager because it sounds like there is a "lack of training" with the warranty clerk.

Ask them to show you in the warranty contract where there is a limitation on the number of claims.

That is total BS - each part is either warrantied or it isn't. Are they saying that nothing is warrantied now that you have a couple of claims? What if the engine blows up? Sheesh!

It is not that bad of a job, you might have to buy a couple sockets and a torque wrench if you dont have one.

The clerk was probably talking about too many claims in general, not with just you.
Most dealers including cars do not warranty items that can have various different wear rates and also items that they cannot control whether they are abused or not. I know a buddy with a Deuce, and he has the engine done to 110CI, and he's shredded about 10 belts so far just from gettin on the throttle.
If you could prove that the belt broke from a manufacturing defect, that would be a different story.
