I went with it, and so far the tire hazard rider part has paid for itself (2 new tires, < 1 year). Since mine was the first year of the 6spd I wanted to keep them on the hook should it have any issues (like the early production models).

Thanks for the feedback timdow. I take it the service plan you mention is for the first 10,000 miles scheduled maintenance? They offered my one of those also. I added youthecosts listed just for the 1k, 2.5k, 5k, 7.5k and 10k milesmanufacturer's required service and it came up to just $100 less than the cost of the plan. But the plan also includes up to 3 new batteries, up to 3 wheel mounting and balancings one drive belt replacement, and one brake pad replacement (parts and labor on all those, except for the tires). So, if you utilize butONE of thoserepair items, the plan has paid for itself. But the question(the risk you take with buying the plan) is, how likely is it that you will need a new battery, or a wheel installed, or a new drive belt, etc... in the first 10,000 miles?????

So, any input there guys? Will a battery be needed within 10,000 miles (or first 3 years)??
Will a new drive belt be needed in the first 10,000 miles )(or first 3 years)???
From what I read on this MB, YES, it's likely that at least one of these repair items will needed.

The dealer told me that they are taking a risk based upon hom much you ride the bike, because they will lose money on a rider that actually rides the bike alot. But they will make money on someone that doesn't ride much. I expect to be in the former category!!!

Oh, and we we do plan to buy a new house in the next few years, but still within the same area, so I'll be able to still get to the dealer.

Since you've made up your mind, I think you'll be happy with the decision. If nothing more than to have 'peace of mind'...If you can ever obtain that with anything mechanical. I know this, if/when I ever purchase a new Harley or other bike..It'll have the extended warranty.

I'll probably add one to my 2007 Malibu SS sometime in the future. I just didn't like the plans that the Chevy Stealership was offering at the time of purchase. For automobiles at least, there are a number of highly ranked companies that'll write you a good policy with little or zero deductibles. I didn't have an extended warranty on my 2002 Cavalier Z24, and in 5 1/2 years of ownership only put about $500 into 'out of factory warranty' repairs. I did, however, purchase a plan on my 2002 Blazer when I bought it used in 2003...It has paid for itself at least three times...Labor isn't cheap and parts are expensive. And stuff does break with use.
