Can anyone shed some light on what the maintenance agreement covers. Is it just like check ups on the bike etc?
Thanks in advance

 

hope you didnt buy that

 

what is the maintenace agrement and what doe's it cover??

 

Great for dealer profit.

 

Optical,

If you are planning on having the dealer do your scheduled maintenance as prescribed in the owners manuel then is not a bad deal. If you are planning on changing your own oil, lubing your cables etc then it's a waste of money.
I would generally do my own 5000 mile services and let the dealer do the 10,000 mile services. If the 10k is done right it's like riding a new bike, especialy if you do tires at the same time.

DC.

 

Another Harley-Stealer scam.

 

I agree with DC1450. If you plan on having the dealer do all the maintenance on the bike, the maintenance agreement will save you hundreds of dollars. I too bought a maintenance agreement on a new purchase however, after having my bike in for a couple of upgrades and the 1000 mile service, my bike kept getting returned to me dirty, scratched up, and not completely reassembled. The good news is, I reported the problems to HD customer service and they paid to have a complete service performed at another dealer. I was able to cancel the maintenance agreement with the original dealer and received a refund for the services that had not yet been performed. Before purchasing, I would ask around to find out how satisfied other HD owners are with your dealers service department. Your local HOG members would probably be a good source for this information.

 

The only way to get value for your money on the maintenance agreement is to ride and ride a lot.

The dealer loses money on me. But he makes it up on all the stuffers out there. I heard that the dealer likes to sell these to people who ride less than 3500 miles a year.

 

They lose on me also. I already have 2000 miles this year, and I just got the bike out a month ago. The agreement covers oil changes every 2500 miles, and all normal maintence. In this area (Mich.) the service costs will rape ya. the 2000.00 I spent for this agreement last fall, will save me hundreds and maybe thousands over the 3 year period it covers

 

I don't put on enough miles to make it worth it. Plus a complete oil change with the very best synthetic oil costs me $42.
