I was curious about getting the extended warranty from the GTTP at the dealer.
Update on this warranty, called and talked to them, they said replacing the CDI or altering the jet settings would VOID any kawasaki warranty - on the powertrain or electronics. Furthermore they told me that any and all scheduled maintenance must be performed by a official kawasaki shop.
This is really hard to believe.?.?.?.?
But understandable.....I guess...
Here is a copy of their warranty bad boy list.
