Sorry to hear K9nut,
By up front, I meant you told them to fix it either way if it was covered or not...
I do not know how Bakers waranty applies to us seeing how BDM purchased the transmissions from them in bulk I am sure. No one said anything about filling out any waranty cards on the tranny when I purchased the bike so I would guess that should be done by BDM and it should be part of the purchase when you bought the bike. Would not make sense for a OEM to downsize a existing waranty but should pass it to the consumer. I know if you buy a car and a tire goes bad, they pass the problem on to the tire manufacturer to make it right.
Just a thought. The below is from Bakers sight..
