accessories, replacement parts, or apparel that are proven to be defective in

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

To Obtain Warranty Service:

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

power equipment on which the product is installed, transportation, commercial loss,

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 
not apply to you. 

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.
