Just had an email to say all 2025 Yamahas will have a 3 year warranty
2025 Yamahas now have 3 year warranty

Good news or is it that the penny dropped that more years warranty = more dealer servicing.
My Suzuki Jimny has a perpetual warranty, as long as it’s dealer serviced.
Wonder if they’ll bring that to their bikes?

The downside is you own a Jimny
Dear lord I would never have put you as a jimney owner Richard!!

KTM were offering lifetime warranty if the bike was main dealer serviced on time. Maybe they were banking on the extra income from servicing to plug the hole in their coffers 
My 2023 V-Strom has a 7-year warranty as long as I get it serviced at the main dealer. This makes good business sense for Suzuki and dealers. But apparently, V-Stroms are "bulletproof" and pretty much immune from warranty claims, so...
Already here - 3 year normal warranty then up to another 4 years (70000 miles max) based on having services on their schedule (annual or 7500)
Suzuki Warranty | Suzuki Bikes UK
After your 3-year standard warranty ends, every time you have a qualifying service with us, we’ll give you a new Service Activated Warranty that covers you through to your next service – until your bike is 7-years old or you reach 70,000 miles (which ever comes first).
not in EU and UK
cars and vans were included in the 1998 Block Exemption but bikes were not listed in the law.
Some makers will give this as a concession but they can insist on a dealer stamp to maintain the factory warranty.
Here's an article by John Millbank on the topic
Main dealer servicing vs independent: your motorcycle warranty
Motorcycle manufacturers are not obliged to honour your warranty if you don’t let them service your bike, but some are fine with it, others not so much…

As wessie says, it depends on the brand
Honda give a 5 year warranty in France, but only if you have the servicing done by a Honda dealership, unfortunately they have a fixed rate service policy which is way too expensive
I’ve started home servicing my scoot now that the 2 years minimum legal warranty has expired, it’s a gamble but it’s a Honda so I’m confident
