Hello all fellow Xer's my question is if I decide to desmog my bike will it void my five years of warranty i purchased? I asked the dealer if it would and they said they did not know and pretty much told me that if it is the cause of an engine issue it will void it, and if not i should be fine. Does any one have a better answer for me than that? has any one had issues with their warranty after doing the desmog mod? johnny are you a fan of the desmog mod or am I better off leaving it the way it is?

From Bare's site:
A lot of people ask about the warranty aspect of doing this mod. The bottom line is that it will depend on your dealer and how much of a pain they want to be. Technically they cannot refuse you warranty service based on this mod, but some will because - well because many dealers are a pain in the ass. So they may give you grief over it, but if you call Honda of America (bypassing the dealer) they should make them honor the warranty.
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a vehicle warranty law - US Code - Title 15, Chapter 50, Sections 2301-2312 states "Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle." This means that if a dealer tries to void your warranty based on modification to the vehicle then they have to prove (They have to prove, not you) that the problem you're having was caused by the mod you did. Since the desmog (when done properly) cannot cause problems on the bike they would be forced to honor the warranty.

I'm so glad that I've seen this post. I was worried about the warranty so I've denied myself the desmog. Looks like I've got a little project to do.

It reduces backfiring and gets a bunch of junk off the top of the motor.1badassX said:
