Regarding the manufacturer's warranty
Harley-Davidson Japan (HDJ) imports from Harley-Davidson Main company (USA). Harley-Davidson's motorcycles, which are delivered through Harley-Davidson Japan (HDJ)'s official distribution network, are accompanied by a Manufacturer's warranty that guaranties long-term security.
By filling out the given documents ("S.W.R. Warranty registration Form), the 36-month (regardless of mileage) warranty for the motorcycle's main unit becomes effective from the date of the first registration at the Land Transportation Office.
However, depending on the date of the first registration, the warranty period might be shortened.
Please read the later-mentioned warranty provisions for details.
Receive the S.W.R. Warranty registration form (A registration form confirming the sale and the warranty) from the HDJ's official distribution network store where you made the purchase, promptly fill out the required information, and then hand it in to the HDJ's official distribution network store.
Warranty Card
This certificate is to verify that you are the owner of a Harley-Davidson ® motorcycle and have the right to receive warranty repairs. It contains your name and address, the frame number that will be the individual number of your motorcycle, and the warranty expiration date.
Please store this warranty card carefully as it is absolutely necessary when receiving warranty services in HDJ's official distribution network.
The warranty card is issued after the details of the "S.W.R Warranty registration form" and the "Warranty transfer certificate" are registered.
Please inform the HDJ's official distribution network store if you need to receive warranty repairs before receiving the warranty card.
Warranty and Maintenance
The warranty provisions for the motorcycle you have purchased are written in this manual.
Also, please use the information in this paper regarding the warranty and maintenance of the purchased motorcycle.
Please conduct 12-month/24-month inspections as well as periodic inspections for each mileage based on regular maintenance and the maintenance procedures and rules described in this paper, as this is your duty as an owner.
If you don't receive all assigned maintenance services, the warranty becomes invalid.
Regarding the warranty and the owner registration
Please bring the inspection maintenance record, when you visit the store from the official distribution network for the 12-month/24-month inspection maintenance, the first vehicle inspection on the 36th month, the vehicle inspections every 24 months after that, as well as the designated inspections and maintenance for every mileage.
This will be proof that you have received maintenance services during the warranty period.
When receiving maintenance services for the first inspection and during periodic inspections, the record of inspection maintenance implemented at a HDJ official distribution store will be proof that a proper maintenance was conducted, so please store it carefully.
Please keep the receipts for any other services and maintenance you have received as well.
If the motorcycle is transferred in the future, please transfer all these records together with it.
Please do not use parts or accessories other than the ones authorized by Harley-Davidson.
For details, please visit a HDJ official distribution network store.
The stores from the HDJ official distribution network have separate capital and management from Harley-Davidson, so it is possible for them to sell parts and accessories that the said company has not manufactured or authorized.
The company cannot guarantee in any way the non-Harley-Davidson parts, accessories, or design changes (including the work) that these stores sell or install.
Please do not use non-genuine parts or customized front forks.
This might negatively affect the performance or handling.
Do not neglect the inspections and maintenance
NOTE
Removing or remodeling of the genuine parts installed at the time of factory shipment might not only negatively affect the performance, but can also lead to fatal accidents or serious injuries. (0001a)
All the types of inspections described in this paper are the minimum requirements for safe and pleasant use.
If a malfunction occurs as a result of these inspections being neglected or performed inadequately, or if points 1 to 6 in the "≥" are not observed, we cannot provide the warranty repairs.
Regarding the first inspection
The first inspection of the motorcycle you have purchased is the first "Doctor's check" to maintain its excellent condition forever.
Please ask an official HDJ distribution network store for it after approximately 1 month of running.
Please undergo the first inspection about 1 month after the new vehicle registration.
However, even if 1 month has not passed, if the mileage has reached 800 km (500 mi), please undergo the first inspection at that time.
Even if the mileage has not reached 800 km (500 mi), please undergo the first inspection after 1 month has passed.
If you cannot undergo the first inspection, not only will the new vehicle warranty become invalid, but the function/performance of the motorcycle may be damaged and its durability may be seriously affected.
Always keep your Harley genuine
For the sake of your Harley-Davidson and the warranty, always instruct the store to use genuine replacements parts.
Please always keep your Harley-Davidson genuine.
Our company's strict design and testing support the performance and the warranty.
Use genuine parts without exception and keep your Harley-Davidson genuine.
If you install parts for racing or competitions to try to improve the performance, the new vehicle warranty will become invalid.
For details, please ask in a HDJ official distribution network store.
If you use too many electricity-powered accessories, the charging system of the motorcycle might overload.
If you use too many accessories simultaneously and their electricity consumption surpasses the charging ability of the motorcycle, the battery might be completely discharged, which might lead to damage in the electric power system of the motorcycle.
Regarding address or name changes
NOTE
Please consult with a HDJ official distribution network store regarding the electricity consumption of additional accessories, or the accompanying necessary changes in the electric system. (00211c)
If there has been a change in the recorded details, such as address or name, please contact a HDJ official distribution network store.
If there is a change in the name of the holder accompanying the warranty transfer, you will have to undergo an inspection corresponding to the 24-month inspection determined by Harley-Davidson.
For details, please contact a HDJ official distribution network store.
