How many of you guys have extended warranties on your trike?
How many of you guys have extended warranties on your trike?
I purchased a 3 year extended warranty for my ride last fall when I bought it. I'm generally not an extended warranty fan but when I considered all the electronic systems and the overall cost of the bike, since it was out of factory warranty I decided it was worth it for the peace of mind provided. When I looked at replacement cost on just the Boom Box, wanted the added coverage.

Yep..and looking at an extended, extended warranty as well!
I Never had an extended warranty, That said because of the electronic's in my Ram truck for the first time i bought one... My 2011 Tri-Glide i didn't get one, And so far [41+k miles] i didn't need it if i had it.. But if i ever get a new Tri-Glide i will buy it, Because of the newer electronic's ....

Yep, I've got one and it was included in the deal I made. I'm sure it cost me something and was hidden in the deal some where. But it was piece of mind for the next 3 years.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
I had one one my 16 Tri but couldnt transfer it to the 17 because of the new engine.I have till Sept 2018 to buy it and more than likely will.

Didn't buy one for the FW. They don't have much for electronics, and I figured if anything happened to the motor then it would just be S&S upgrade time. I did buy 4 extra years for my Charger. Lots of electronics on that, and Dodge has a bad rep there. But it came with a nice gimmick - If I don't use it I get my money back. We'll see how good that works out...
I had one on my 2011 and it more than paid for itself.
I have one on my 2014, and it kicks in after the 2 year OEM expires sometime next month.

Have one on my 2013. Replaced compensator and the front head. It has paid for itself.

I bought it for my 2014, and it paid for itself. I figured it was a no-brainer when I got the '17 TG, for no other reason than the uncertainty of the M8 engine.

Not sure about the others here, but both of mine were the Harley ESP. I too was told that it would not transfer, but I got a refund for the unused portion. Only bad part about it is that HD starts the clock on the day you buy it, even though it really overlaps the normal HD warranty. So, after 2 years, I got about half of it back. Having the ESP helps in other ways, such as the preferential treatment I got when we were in TN to ride last summer, and the bike went completely lights out. Rocky Top HD immediately pulled it in, spent all day working on it to find a broken wire inside the fairing where it got pinched. Six hours of labor, and we were treated like VIPs, got the bike fixed, and $50 out the door.

Preferential treatment came into play when my Road King decided not to play nice in New Mexico. They have to provide travel lodging reimbursement if your MC is disabled overnight more than 100 miles from home as well as rental reimbursement if the MC stays overnight so the dealer paid overtime to get me out of there.
Pickup reimbursement helped because my insurance only paid $40.00 so the warranty paid the difference. Luckily it wasn't over the $200.00 allowance.

When I traded my 2003 Road King on my 2007 Road King I did get a check for the remaining warranty on my 2003.Who was your old extended warranty provider? Are all of the companies the same way? In other words, if you get a new bike with a different engine you can't transfer the warranty or get any refund?

I usually wait until I get the notice from HD that my original 2 year warranty is expiring before I buy an extended. Gives me time to shop around; also, my track record lately is that I don't have it past 2 years. I have very little will power

I had the extended warranty on my 2009 TriGlide. All of the electronics was the reason. My FLRT doesn't have those items.
The extended warranty is a huge money maker for those selling it. The vast majority of them sold are never used or never come close to even breaking even. It's more like insurance in my way of thinking. Sure do give the Insurance Companies allot of money just in case something happens.

My '09 Triglide ESP paid for itself several times over. Reverse motor x 2, compensator x 2, forward head replacement (after top engine mount pulled out) and complete bottom end rebuild. Only "electronics" thing was multiple radios swapped out. That was over a six year period and 100K miles. I did not hesitate to buy it for my '15.

I've had it on my last 3 bikes. Paid for themselves each time. Am I unlucky or what.
All it is, is insurance, just like life or home. If you have the money and want peace of mind = buy it!
Some people have used it (me) and some people have never used it.
If you're handy with tools and know what you're doing = don't buy it.
