'09 Tire warranty question
For those who have had their 2009 front D407 tire replaced under warranty, did you get a D408 or another D407 as the replacement tire?
Thanks,
Thom

I got my D407F replaced about 3 weeks ago with the D408.
Actually , it was 2 days before Port Dover 13th party.
I had 10400 miles on the 407 and it had 3/32" left on it.
Covered in full , no problem.

My first one was replaced with a 407 it was replaced before dealers had the bulliten i got reembursed after bulliten was released. they did not have any 408s at the time so they put on a 407, second 407 did the same thing after 9000 miles and they also replaced it for free.

I don't think it is all tires because my local dealer said my VIN did not show on the bulletin?

Only tires on bikes built in certain months of 2009. You would have received a letter informing you of it.

Had my 407 replaced with a 408 just a couple of months ago with ~11,000 miles. It had >3/32 so I got 100% and left with a new tire - no charge. The bulletin does NOT relate to specific VINs and I never received a letter. Here's a link to the actual bulletin:

If you go in complaining of noise, vibration or a poor ride (as stated in the bulletin) it will likely qualify. They will evaluate the tire - BE SURE TO GO IN WITH THE RIGHT AIR PRESSURE, as I've heard some who are denied due to the improper pressure/maintenance. The amount of remaining tread (also as specified in the bulletin) will dictate the coverage amount.
