What covered parts?

I got the extended warranty for my bike ($1600 for four years) and it paid for itself when the oil galleys to the transmission failed to deliver the correct levels of oil. $4,000 transmission cassette, covered. :party

from this place http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-4-...-MC-/380114738518?hash=item58809a9d56&vxp=mtr

I got a 4 year off of ebay for $355 back in 2006 looks to have gone up a bit. its a kawi good times warranty. for a little more you get twice the length of warranty

I got it from Freemont Motorsports in Co. everything was easy and quick. and when I totaled my bike two years later I received a check for half the warranty cost back since I only used two years worth.

If your making payments; yes I'd go w/the additional 2 years. That way if a problem appears, you won't loose extra money...

If you're gonna keep riding 15K miles a year, that unlimited mileage extended warranty looks like a sweet deal.

Yes the unlimited mileage is awesome! Since I put 15K a year on the bike.

I didn't know they will give you a check back if you totaled your bike! Now that makes it worth it! Thanks! Ill do the 2 year for now.

Extended warranty on a Ducati or Harley, yes.

Extended warranty on a Jap bike, nah.
 
If anything cropped up prematurely I'd imagine Kawasaki covering at least some of the repair under "good will" warranty, I think extended warranty are a fools bet, for them to pay off it means the bike you bought was a piece of junk to begin with. Oh and when you put in your warranty claim I wonder how promptly work begins, "we just need to clear this claim with yamakazee USA before we begin work." I was at the bar hearing a guy talk about how his bike has been in the shop two months for warranty work, given it was a harley, but come on.

I think for bmw, harley, ducati, it might be worth it but a japanese bike it wouldn't.
 
I just bought a Ducati last month, traded in my old bike and paid cash for the balance of it OTD. When I was turned over to the 'paperwork guy" to finalize it all, they tried hard to push two things on me.

One was a $2,300.00 no pay maintenance svc package, and the other was an extended warranty out to 5 years for about $800.00.

It comes with a 2-year unlimited mileage warranty which, is pretty good compared to most bikes at 1-year.

I chose neither one. I would probably have picked the 3 year extended warranty if I hadn't spent all my money on the bike. They offered me a payment plan on both items but being how I hate payments, I declined.

Most consumer advocate organizations I think, recommend NOT purchasing extended warranties on vehicles as on the average, they don't pay off in the long-run, meaning that, you never have the need to use them.

Now, if you end up being one of the "unlucky ones" that catches a 'lemon" well then you'd be thankful that you did.

So, I guess it comes down to the money Vs peace of mind.

I went with the Suzuki 4 year unlimited miles "extended Service coverage". It was around $500, when my Stator and RR died the bill was $980... I also put 20K+ miles per year, so totally worth it IMHO if you put on big miles.

Also, I do my own maintenance and they didn't even ask for any documentation. Which is good because I was a few thousand miles from home.
 
I wouldn't buy it. It's Japanese.

Ducati or Triumph...yes
