RE: Extended Warranty purchased with WW
With the exception of the Lifetime Structural Warranty that Warrior offered on all their 2007 Wide Body models, my Two Year Warranty ended last month.
Extended Warranty purchased with WW
This question may have been discussed previously, but I can't seem to find a thread.
Has anyone determined if an extended warranty entered into with an outside company at the time a Weekend Warrior was purchased will be honored? For example, I purchased a six year extended warranty through Western General. Some of the verbage reads as follows under General Provisions: "This Service Contract is between You and WG Dealer Services (Obligor)," It does not mention the manufacturer (WW) or the dealer (Giant RV) as being responsible.
RE: Non Comercial Class A Endorsement
So did I understand it correctly? A tow behind dual axle trailer like my WW FS2600 does not require me to have a non-commercial class A endorsement.
RE: Utility ATV question...
The Kawasaki system is actually a little different than most, as mentioned above it uses an electronic acutator to keep the belt engaged, thus producing the "engine" braking effect. It is actually a cool system as it avoids adding extra weight onto the sheeves like most ATVs, that is why the Kawasaki's spool up quickly and get up to speed quick. Another thing you have probably noticed when turning the key off is a electronic sound coming from the CVT area. The system measures the width of the belt each time the ATV key is turned off and adjusts how the converters engage the belt the next time. What this does is mean that engine braking effect on these ATVs should be consistent as the belt wears, where as on most ATVs, the engine braking becomes less and less effective as the belt wear increases.
There is a switch on the top of the CVT cover (inside) that can be tripped when the belt starts to come apart, the idea is that the scraps of the belt will trip the switch. This puts the unit into a safe mode that only allows it to operate at a reduced speed to get you back to the truck/camp in a limp mode. The reason for this is that if you are running in 4-wheel drive and the belt comes apart completely, the belt can lock up the converters and with the front and rear wheels connected in 4WD, the rider could get launched over the bars.
I would ensure the switch has been reset. Also you may want to check the two wires going to the K-EBC, there should be one with black connectors and another with gray connectors. Is the display flashing between "2WD" and "4WD?" If so the system needs to be reset, your dealer can do this or you can search out the proceedure on the web.
Good luck
Onan generator oil change - anyone done it
According to my owner's manual, I should change the oil in the Onan (5.5 KW) in my 2007 WW FS2600 at the first 20 hours. I went under the trailer today and the oil filter seems easily accessible. Is changing the oil and filter on these as straight forward as it seems? I was quoted $90 by Giant RV to do the service but if I can do it myself I would just as soon do that. Oil filters are about $11. How much oil capacity do these have?
RE: New Dirt Bike Choices?
The new Kawasaki KLX140 and KLX140L look pretty cool. I was doing some research on them and they seem to have some really nice features. Electric start of course, but is also seems like they have taken some of the parts from their KX bikes and put them on these also. They have dual disc brakes and larger fork tubes than the other bikes of similar size. My dealer said they should be arriving in November. For only $100 more than the Yamaha, it seemed like a good deal for the better suspension and brakes. I guess I will see next month.
Good luck in your bike shopping.
