Originally I had this idea that only performance enhancers would void a warranty- but it occurred to me very recently that electrical tinkering could likely void the warranty too. I may not be able to, say, wire a stereo into the battery, and still keep the warranty.
This is the sentence on the genuine website that scared me:
Now I am not talking about a 1000W stereo, but I am talking about wiring something… There are people who replace engine parts with performance parts and that’ll void the warranty. So I’m wondering if you all have any input on this.Genuine wrote: “In other words, if you break your scooter by… wiring a 1,000 watt stereo into the electrical system …that's not nice and therefore that's not covered.”
What about those things like the Stella stereo kit ? It’s from Scooter works, but it still wires into the battery… Will that void it?
Probably the same situation for this, or even something cheap like this this. Or what about rigging a way to plug my GPS into the battery?
Thinking outside the box, I could just replace the box, and maybe I could use a self sufficient system like the buzz, and rig a way to plug multiple things into that 2nd battery (GPS, cell phone charger) and after a multi-battery tender for home charging and maybe a solar panel charger for charging while parked at work (and maybe even while riding!)- it could be a cool little set up.
But also what about an alarm? A different headlight or taillight or blinker bulb? A different horn? Even a light knight or something similar?
Or even the Uber-popular method of disabling the annoying turn signal warning (which will be all the more loud/ annoying on a Stella 4T, considering it’s a much quieter engine…)
Any ideas? I’m starting to think of the Stella 4T 2 year warranty as a curse rather than a blessing, Help!
