Damn Scout. Two Gen 4's used up and blown out? Sorry to hear of your misfortune.
But since you're not riding for the moment, you probably won't see this post.


I may not be perfect, but at least I don't ride a Suzuki.

Just to put it out there, the warranty on the Aprilia I just bought has no mileage restriction. They probably assume itll never be ridden enough for the miles to matter or itll be crashed if you ride a lot of miles.
Scout, nice work on the mileage. Thats what, 120000 miles between these Gen 4s that youve blown up in the past few years? Thats a looot of riding and a lot of mileage for the year. What does your insurance company think of the mileage you rack up?

Not sure about USA but in Canada, Kawasaki warranties are strictly time based, as well.

Helibars, MRA screen, Ohlins damper, reversed shift pattern, sorted suspension, braided lines, Michelin Pilot Power, all else stock 'coz it's fast enough!

So Kawa looks at the superbike stats and insurance looks at all motor stats and both arrive at the same conclusion: statistically, riders don't ride at all; or anywhere near cage miles. I ride far more miles than my cages, for certain. No effort. Just a mental workout is what I get out of a bike workout. Plus fun doing the range of stuff that we do and I include doing stuff with cagers in mind. Why the empty rural 100 mile section is mandatory. Pay for that, though, if the bike quits in the middle of no where. I'll get AAA when the dealer releases the bike this time.
edit: a warranty without mileage restrictions is market psych. Bet nearly zero cage makers offer limitless mile warranty. Some day, maybe.

So bikes in non US territories which don't include the same level of restriction as US bikes are less reliable?
