The warranty isn't really worth S*&% anyway. MOD it up. My buddy has a 800 Renegade that he was always yapping about and telling me my H1 was junk. We went riding and I went through all the mud and water he went around. His plastic belt cover leaked like a screen door, and his crappy G.C. couldn't keep up with me. He's obviously got me on open ground, but he can't hang in the mud. Once I went flying by him in the soup a few times he stopped talkin trash to me. You need snorks and a few light power-mods. Most of which can be quickly reversed before you take it in for a warranty issue, but again, I haven't ever had any luck with the warranty so I gave up waiting and started modding. Before anyone jumps on me about reversing mods before taking it in, I'm not saying lie about what your doing... If I broke something, I'd pay, if it was a legit warranty issue, then I have no issue taking off my mods so I don't have to argue about any of it.
