Went to the local Yamaha dealer here in Hong Kong, I asked about the DNA air filter as I was interested in ordering one from Europe. They told me if I did, I would loose my warranty.
Just to wind the guy up a bit I said I was thinking about changing the exhaust. He said, no you cant do that either or you'll loose the warranty. But they can refit a akrapovic titanium for HK$10,000 (about Euro 1,000), but it's 3 months delivery. I said this is almost half the price from the Aprilia dealer near by. He replied with 'Ah but ours has the MT-07 logo and you wont lose your warranty'. So looks like no modifications for me for another seven months. Is this happening in other countries?
