RE: extended warranty?
I didn't buy it, going on 4 and half trouble free years. Extended warranties **** me off. It's like HD saying "here, why don't you buy some extra insurance in case our products suck". I bought an extended warranty for a pickup that I had a few years ago- that was a waste. No thanks, I'm not paying an extra grand or whatever for HD to stand behind their product.

RE: extended warranty?
Extended warranties are generally 90% profit, and many times prove to be completely worthless. Many refuse to cover "modified" motorcycles. Guess who determines what "modified" means? How many box-stock Harleys do you see out there?
Chances are if it makes it through the 2 years, it'll last longer than the extended warranty. Dealers love to sell them, tho. Profit up front AND if there is a failure.......

RE: extended warranty?
Anything that survives the original factory warranty can't be very defective to my way of thinking or it wouldn't have lasted two years. If it isn't defective I can't see anything going wrong after that so why make some insurance company (and dealer) fat.
Ask your salesman how much he personally gets if you buy the extended warranty. It's probably more than the comission he got off the bike when he sold it to you. Do you wonder why he's trying to sell you the plan???????????

RE: extended warranty?
For the most part I agree with ya'll on the extended warranty being a waste, however, wouldn't ya know it after the regular warranty was up on my Blazer the damn computer chip that controls the 2Hi, 4HI, 4LOW engagement went crazy and didn't light up any idiot lights and caused my truck to go in and out of 2hi to 4Low at highway speeds and tore up the fricken transmission.

RE: extended warranty?
you have to set up the classic 'INSURANCE SQUARE OR RISK SQUARE" this is taught in collage insurance 101.not to be a smart ais
like a "tick-tack-toe" sence im not good with graphics on computer.
across set up your expences ..ex : cost of warrenty l no warrenty
then,
down set up your choice..ex: no repaIrs 7YRS l repairs 7YRS
my insurance agent showed me this. it works for any thing.
NOTE-- some very interesting things start to become appearent not just warrenty..... insur/gambling?
HELPS YOU SEE YOUR PERSONAL LEVEL OF FINANCIAL IMPACT AND LEVEL OF RISK. FOR ME ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I SAW THAT OVER 5-6K FULL COVERAGE ON A CAR WAS OK/GOOD BUT UNDER THAT IT WAS A RISK I COULD TAKE..TRY YOURS!
WITH A BIKE/MACHINE A LOT OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS BOURD ARE (SETUP) TO FIX,I AM A MERE MORTAL TINKERER AND WORK A LOT. AND IVE KNOWN SEVERAL WARRENTY HAS HELPED. HOPE THIS HELPED!
