S&S® CYCLE, INC. EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
The following warranty applies to the emission control system and is in addition
to the S&S Cycle, Inc. LIMITED WARRANTY.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The following is an explanation of the emission control system warranty on your
2007 and later engine. New motor vehicles and engines must be designed,
built, and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards. S&S must warrant
the emissions control system parts on your engine for the period of time listed
below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of
your engine.
The emission control system included with your new engine may include parts
such as the throttle body and intake manifold. Also included may be hoses,
connectors, and other emission-related S&S assemblies or parts.
Where a warrantable condition exists, within the warranty period noted below,
your authorized S&S dealer will repair your engine at no cost to you, including
diagnosis, parts, and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE
Class III motorcycles (280 cc and larger): for a period of use of five (5) years or
30,000 kilometers (18,641 miles), whichever first occurs.
If an emission-related part on your engine has been deemed defective by S&S,
the part will be repaired or replaced by S&S. This is your emission control system
DEFECTS WARRANTY.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. S&S recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your engine.
You are responsible for presenting your motorcycle to an S&S dealer as soon
as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable
amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
As the engine owner, you should be aware that S&S may deny your warranty
coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you
should contact S&S Cycle, Inc., 235 Causeway Blvd LaCrosse, WI 51603 or the
California Air Resources Board, P.O. Box 8001, 9528 Telstar Avenue, El Monte, CA
91734-8001.
ADDITIONAL WARRANTY TERMS
The warranty period begins on the date the engine is delivered to the ultimate
purchaser, or on the date it is first placed in service.
The emission control system of each new S&S engine was designed, built, and
tested using only genuine S&S parts and with these parts the engine is certified
as being in conformity with emission control regulations.
We recommend that you go only to an authorized S&S dealer for repairs under
this warranty. He/she has factory-trained mechanics and genuine S&S parts.
However, in the case of an “emergency” (as define below), you could have repairs
performed at any available service establishment or by the owner, using any
replacement part. An authorized S&S dealer not being reasonably available, or a
part not being available within a reasonable time period (not to exceed 30 days
from the time the motorcycle is initially presented to an S&S dealer for repair)
constitutes an emergency. S&S will reimburse the owner for such repairs, including
diagnosis, only if it is established that the repairs are covered under this emission
warranty. S&S’s parts reimbursement, however, will not exceed our suggested
retail price for all warranted parts replaced and our labor reimbursement will be
limited to our recommended time allowances for emission system repairs at the
geographically appropriate hourly labor rate.
To obtain reimbursement from S&S for such emergency repairs, you must keep
all failed parts and original receipts, so you can present them to an authorized
S&S dealer for his inspection. S&S recommends that you bring your engine to
an authorized dealer for inspection to ensure that the emergency repairs were
done properly.
The use of replacement parts which are not equal in quality to genuine S&S
parts may impair the effectiveness of the emission control system or otherwise
damage your engine. If other than genuine S&S parts are used for maintenance,
replacement or repair of components affecting emission control, you should obtain
written assurances that such non-S&S parts are warranted by their manufacturer
to be equal in quality to genuine S&S parts in both performance and durability.
The use of non-S&S replacement parts does not invalidate the existing warranty,
if any, on other S&S components unless the non-S&S parts cause damage to
warranted parts or result in the creation of an emission non-compliant engine.
However, S&S ASSUMES NO LIABILITY UNDER THIS WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO
ANY PARTS WHICH ARE NOT GENUINE S&S PARTS, unless genuine S&S parts cause
damage to non-genuine S&S parts.
