period. Anything replaced under warranty becomes the property of Honda Motor

attachments or parts, unauthorised alteration, improper installation, or any causes 
other than defects in material or workmanship of the product. Installing parts and 
accessories on non-Honda products or engines voids this warranty.

Disclaimer of Consequential Damage and Limitation of Implied

long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of 
incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusions and limitations may

which vary from state to state.
