Default esp

This subject has been brought up with many riders I know. Besides corporate hd, are there any reliable esp coverages available ? Has anyone had any real experience with one they will stand behind ? 4 year coverage for basic esp from hd, after factory coverage is 1400 bucks. Too much for an average 5k mile /year bike.

I opened this thread thinking it had something to do with extra sensory perception.

At 5k per year, I don't see why you'd worry about it.

Put that $1400 in savings and use it when if you need it for the ESP coverage you didn't get Chuck Deluxed into buying.

Exactly what I thought. Just do proper maintenance and you likely won't have any issues.

Appreciate all the feedback.My only hangup is the electronics on the 17 r.g.s Just like the M8 , some of these electronics are new technology (on a Harley) that is. I look forward to maintaining and wrenching my own bike (s) 25 years and counting, but let me go one further.Has anyone had issues with the infotainment system, besides the s**t show they call GPS ? This GPS has had me literally riding in circles only to turn around. After the newest update. The other day 400 miles into Pa. turned me around the way I came from, after 4 miles of riding the route it highlighted. Things that make ya' go hmmmm ??

This is a no fool zone...........show me a guy who rides on the weekend wearing a jacket with a patch his wife designed and that's your fool !!! Say hi to Madrid for me.Go del fuegos.
