My warranty definitely didn't include towing services.
But to each their own. If you high side or go down, trashing the bike, where your quickshifter sensor is located is the least of your troubles. I guess you can mental gymnastic your way into being fearful it will void your warranty somehow. Even when my bike was under warranty, I would do a simple diagnosis in my garage before taking it in to see if it was something simple like a loose connector or whatever. But at the same time, my V4 was my commuter for a while and I legitimately enjoyed riding it every day. Some people don't seem to mind taking their bike in to the dealer for issues that can be fixed in a few minutes and have their bike sit there for days before the dealer gets around to it. Knew a dude who needed his clutch bled, and instead of taking the literal 3 minutes it takes to quickly bleed it with a wrench and a rag, he took it in to the dealership. Sat in their shop for 2 weeks because they were swamped.
To each their own. Just use a little bit of logic. If Ducati is willing to screw you out of warranty work because a shifter sensor impedes airflow, they are just as likely to just say your aftermarket quickshifter is the source of the problem. You're not saving yourself any trouble by being scared of where to put the sensor.
