Renewal cost circa four times higher than last year!
Bike Loon replied to Clarkyboy's topic in Insurance / Finance questions
My renewal on the 987.2 is £50 less than last year. Having checked comparison sites, its the best deal out there for me right now as well. Looks like they are hitting the SUV market... probably lumping them into the theft bracket -
If you read my original post, I was trying (and failing badly having reread it myself) to say that its not worth not declaring mods to insurers. The implication was there but to be clear, I am firmly in the declare all mods camp..which did used to take a while with the old GSXR1000

When I had a claim on my motorbike, the assessor that turned up admitted to me that he knew next to nothing about motorbikes. Given the amount of diffeent brands out there, I would bet that it would be pretty much impossible for a Assessor/Engineer to know what is standard and what is not on the 1,000s of different models cars/motorbikes they are asked to look at. Some things stand out but others do not.. but what do I know, I wouldnt listen to me for 1 second

If you do not declare your mods and have a crash and the insurance assessors spot the mods, worst case scenario you are uninsured. That said, most assessors would not notice but is it worth the risk. Also factor in that with some more obvious mods, if you get pulled by a savvy RPU Police Officer and they can see the mods, and they check with your insurer and there are none declared, they can do you for that as well.

All speedos generally over read by about 5%. This is so that if you get caught speeding, you could not blame the car manufacturer for under reading

Yeah the sides are the little thin strip at the bottom of the unit on mine and when they come on the DRLs go off
-
Ahh right, the thin strip at the bottom is my sidelights and are on with the headlights as well. With no lights on it has the bigger LED section on with the engine running

My 987.2 has DRL as standard, do they not all come with it ?

My mistake, thought it was the gardener -

Wow, that is over 10% interest.... you can tell the owners that pay the Indies to change their bulbs -
Also worth remembering that although you will still have the same amount of NCD next year as its protected, your premium will increase for the next 5 years as there is a claim on the system.

it is also to check the info held on the vehicle is correct. Had this with my Alfa where the first insurance company I got a quote with had it on their system as a auto gearbox when it is a manual. There was a big conversation with them where they asked if it had been converted to being a manual. I told them that it had not and on the HPI check it said it was a manual and even had to forward them the HPI check before they agreed their info was wrong.

Ive got a spare one mate, ping me your address and its yours

Well I got them today and I'm not going to fit them. The surround to the unit is chrome and I don't think it will look right with the black. Jonathan is happy to take them back unless one of you wants them for the £280
