Gents,

Correct me if I am wrong, but our motorcycles are issued with a Yamaha Europe Service Card. The warranty is valid in all EU nation-states, and beyond in line with the general warranty conditions.

Example: I experienced a complete rear shock absorber failure in Norway this last summer with my Dutch registered motorcycle that was bought in the Netherlands. However, Yamaha Norway honored my warranty by replacing the shock absorber under warranty.

Therefore, I suspect that this is question of an internal processes. Since most of the parts for the European market come from Yamaha Europe located in Schipol-Rijk in the Netherlands, I suspect that warranty parts and warranty labor is invoiced internally within the European Yamaha organization.

Regards,

J
