I agree, sometimes going to get a warranty parts or doing warranty work on your bike is a real pain. I also don't bother about my warranty much, unless the part is expencive. 
        
 
         The other day my radiator cap packed up so I bought a new one online & fitted it myself, just a pain to book your bike into the deaker to be told we have no stock & you won't have your bike for a few days & have to walk home.
