:shocked::hun: I feel as if a little bit of "Global Warming" would seem pretty nice right now...

Come on out to Australia and you would experience all the heat one body could ever wish for. Come to think of it I would settle for some snow at the moment, can always add more clothes. I'm down to next to the least I can without getting locked up for indecent exposure and am still way to bloody hot. Apologies for off topic comment but hopefully a little humour is allowed ??
Cheers

Just remember the EVAP canister, Purge valve and roll off valve as well as hoses are part of emission coverage. They go out you are SOL if the dealer voids emission warranty. 2 of those 3 have been known to quit working correctly.

Or you could just put it back on if you're really that worried about it.
I've been modding bikes for 15 years including blowers and nitrous and have never had a claim rejected that was legit.

...that would void the emission's warranty ONLY.

And if you read my post again, you will see that I said it would void the emission systems warranty.

The modified part (cat bypass) would have to be the cause of the failure in for warranty repair. A cat bypass does not, in itself, void anything.
A cat bypass cannot cause a purge valve failure or really any other part of the emissions system to fail. Now, blow out a muffler (unlikely), damage a hanger etc etc and they may deny warranty replacement of those parts. I could also see warranty denial for a broken exhaust header bolt, gasket, or similar if they claim fitment issues.

The same exists with any mod. Rip out the mounting bolts running a larger windshield, shred a belt or pulley with a tensioner installed, burn up some electrical with aftermarket lights installed, etc etc.....its all open to interpretation by the dealer.

But I agree, if your worried about it simply swap out the bypass before having any warranty work done.

I have a 2014 RT-S. Is there a reason to do the cat delete since there is not a heat issue? Is there a power increase? Does it drop the weight much? Is it mostly for a better sound?

I'm sure this has been gone over many times so once more couldn't hurt right?!

There is no functional need to remove the catalytic converter on the 2014 1330s...:dontknow:
It comes down to aesthetics...

Removed mine on the F3, I can be heard and that is functional need

The sound is directed rearward... :banghead:
You could buy yourself a louder horn, and be much better-protected. :thumbup:

Bob you don't hear motorcycles with a tuned exhaust coming up from behind or in your blind spot? I have upgraded my horn but I am still very happy with the tone and increased sound level of the change. Necessary, no, I guess it is a matter of what you like.

Ooo, the old "loud pipes argument". You KNOW you can't win that one, don't you?

I realise that this hard to believe but some folk don't seem to like the F3 at all!:shocked:

But....different strokes eh? :thumbup:

 

[robmorg]

Yeah, the OP of this thread was one of them folks. ...until he rode one.

Thanks. This was what I figured but wanted to check. I think I'll spend that money for something that will improve the ride and not just the sound. I don't care about that much.

Yes, but I would be willing to bet that most of those people have never seen the F3 in person! It is a very sexy machine up close! ... not so much in photos.

I respectfully disagree... :yikes:

It's gorgeous from any, and all angles!! :yes::2thumbs:

Hmmmmmmm-Maybe Uncle Al Gore was right!

I'm so very sorry, I do believe you are correct, sir! :clap:
