When the CCT went out on my F4i while the bike was still under warranty, at first, they refused to fix it under warranty. After some arguing, they said they would fix it, but it would take 30 days because they had to take the engine apart. They were trying to avoid the repair After I got loud enough at the service desk to draw the attention of the General Manager, He and I got into a "discussion" about the repair until I pointed to the lifter and ridiculed him for the Service Manager saying the engine had to come apart and reminded him of the common knowledge in the industry of the CCT lifter failures on Honda 600's, his attitude changed. If they think you don't know anything about motorcycles, they will rip you After they fixed it twice in 6 months with 10K on the bike, I installed a manual APE, and have made 1 adjustment over the next 28K miles

My Jeep GC went in for warranty work twice in the first year I owned it. (It was already 3 years old and had 25k miles on it.) But the Jeep dealer fixed both issues no problem.

You bring up a good point, but its a specific item. Brakes. Very few OEMs will pay for brakes unless its under 6 months old or if the vehicle is a premium unit such as a Cadillac or BMW and is under 12 months old. I have yet to find a manufacturer who can make brakes that don't warp rotors...and I wrenched for a Mazda dealer. I guess you have to buy a Porsche to get good brakes.
