Service Contract

[elektradw]

My local Kawi dealer offered my a service contract for $1200. That seemed awfully steep for just the first 6 services. Is it imperative that all scheduled maintenance be done at an authorized dealer for the entire 36 months in order to keep the warranty valid? Does anyone know what the first 6 services would cost relative to service contract offered?

Save the money and do it yourself. Just keep records!

The dealer is making you pay in advance for maintenance. Some of the simpler things can be done by you until you get to the valve checks and then I believe the dealer always say the valves are in spec.
So No, No No.  Spend the money on farkles so it is something you can see or feel on every ride.

You also need to consider that the dealer could go out of biz.

there is NO requirement that I am aware of where they can void your warranty if a Kawi dealer doesn't do ALL services.

Just keep records of what you do and they cannot deny a claim for that basis

Exactly. They cannot require you to have work done at the dealer. But they could deny if you do not have some kind of documentation to prove you did the maintenance, and they have reason to belive it was not performed. Your written notes and receipts for the parts should be adequate.
