RE: Should I get the 5 year Warentee???
Thanks Everyone!!!!
All good advice. I will check for the 25 degree injectors. I think mine will be delivered with the 8s. I found the service bulleten. Hopefully the dealer will not give me any problems.
No 5 year for sure. Thanks again.

I've been thinking about this a lot. Seems to me that anything with hidden defects would break in the first year if you ride the bike the way it should be. After that, you would need 20 - 30 year coverage for parts that just wear out.

My opinion is to take however much that warranty costs and put it in an intrest bearing savings account and don't touch it, unless you need to have repairs done after the 2 year warranty periodis over.Would be willing to bet after that additional 3 years are over, there will still be money in that account.

Can we cash out the remaining life on extended warranties? Have to check my paperwork and see if so and how much it will be. Gotta feed the bling monster. He eats chrome.

i just got my bike last week and i paid the xtra 999.00 for 5 yr warranty . if you did get it i can tell you the feeling knowing you have it and that piece of mind is good enough for me . i could have something major happen 3 years from now that would cost 1500.00 to repair and wouldnt it be nice to say to yourself (man I'm glad I did that)

I got the extended warrenty. A 9 year warrenty to be exact, only to have my warrenty voided by the work that I had done to the bike. So I would say, if you plan on making any drastic changes to your scoot, i wouldn't get the warrenty. Any fat tire kit voids the waarenty becuase they have to cut the fender henges off. Just my 2 cents.

RE: Should I get the 5 year Warentee???
I just recently bought my Duece, I purchased the warranty with hesitation. But bit the bullet and figured, the bike is a 2001 with 20K on it. I don't know what the bikes been through, so I figured it couldn't hurt. My Sportster on the other hand always ran great too. Never a problem. I also bought the tire warranty for $500.00, I've already used that on my 180 rear tire. So that's paying for itself already. Good luck what ever your decision is.
