On a personal level I never did care about the warranty. Since that's pretty much impossible they would have to honor their warranty. In other words if you lowered the back end and then your fork seals developed a leak they would have to prove lowering your back end caused a fork seal leak. I can't speak to the extended warrantee's but the one year factory warranty denial would need to be proven your mod caused the failure in question. The general consensus years ago when Victory was still in business was these Vic's were built so well that it was rare for anything affecting the engine by the tuner, aftermarket pipes, and other mods, were negligible so we just didn't worry about it. Now that may different if you get it through your local Victory dealership, they stay in business, and they are decent about these extended warrantee's. I know this won't answer your question about the 'extended warranty' but I can say those extended warrantee's are frequently denied for the slightest little thing. Still don't know if that would void yer warranty. So, even though ya might have returned the maps to their original state if info the dealership's used to seein' isn't there they'll know somethin's been messed with. For example: if the dealership uses the comments section to log dates, customer data, or other unique information to help keep track of what he's done when you change yer maps back 'n forth ya could inadvertently lose this information. After a map's been altered there's no way to monitor changes unless the comments section of the two maps are different. if ya bought the bike with the fuel controller installed will the dealership be able to track yer map changes? The answer is: No. 'K, sorry after re-readin' yer post I may have misunderstood yer second question. If it does affect yer warranty, dependin' on the dealership, they may still endorse yer warranty 'cuz they did the work. I think, if the dealership installs yer fuel controller they'll tell ya up front that it'll affect yer warranty. sorry don't know, but I waited a year to put my PCV on to be sure it didn't affect my warranty. most likely they've made the changes, documented them, so are aware of them. fer sure, ya can't miss the extra hardware! Will the dealership see the change in ECU flash. So, gettin' back to yer original question, if ya install a fuel controller on yer bike will the dealership notice it. Places like Lloydz, which change the rev range on a bike, have invested in the tool years ago. The dealerships' tool to get into the ECU costs 'bout $3k-$6k and is licensed. The reason that PCV and Maximus are so popular is ya do fuel mapping without returning to the dealership, at yer leisure, producin' yer own desired results. If yer gonna flash yer bike's ECU ya need a tool the dealerships' authorized to use (and paid to use). After that the cable to connect to the bike's computer. You need the Dealer/Mechanick link to Polaris to download the flash using the barcode card that comes with the kit. hence ya either dyno or use Autotune to create maps for yer fuel controller not yer bike's ECU operatin' map. The maps ya create and download to those fuel controllers modify engine operation beyond ECU response. Those devices are piggy-backed onto the bike's fuel controlling ECU signal. first off-ya can't flash the onboard ECU with the aftermarket fuel controllers ya mentioned.
