Charlie28 Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Hey Guys, If i was to install a new exhaust pipe on my yamaha YZF R125, would it make my insurence invalid? Do you have to tell the insurence company that you have it? and how much does this put your insurence up by? Cheers, Charlie
Imanupstart Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 It wouldn't have any effect on your insurance, well I hope not due to the lovely scorpion can on my vara I'm not too sure but it might void your warranty, might want to ring your dealer about it though.
chrisw Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 It shouldn't have an effect on your Warranty, as an exhaust is not likely to be the cause of any problems that a bike develops (quoted from my local Yam dealer). However you shuold tell your insurance that you've swapped the exhaust, if you need to claim on it they could use that as a reason not to pay out as you have modified the bike and not made them aware of the fact. Chances are it won't make any difference to the cost, but it's better to let them know. If you're not sure, give them a call first and say you're thinking of changing it and ask if it would make a difference to the premium, they'll ask if it increases the power of the bike, which you can always say no that you know of I'm just doing it cos the original is ugly. Once you know what difference it makes you can make a decision.
Charlie28 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 Okay i think i will give them a call Thanks for the help
Imanupstart Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Or if you write off your bike and are friendly with the owners of the bike shop its sitting in, waiting to be taken away, pop along and remove the blue flame exhausts with the stock ones...Not that I know anyone who did this And thanks for the warranty advice chris, wasn't too sure about swapping the cans on my yzf just incase it voided it.
