It all depends on individual situation. General consensus, it is not worth it, and just a pure profit for the dealer. Regarding mods, again it depends on how friendly your dealer is. The law does side on the consumer - the burden of proof is on the Maker.

An extended warranty is really just an insurance policy.

Your betting your bike will break, by paying the extra cost for the policy.
The policy providers (sellers) are betting the bike will not break, so they can make a profit.

In most (not all) cases, an extended warranty is not worth the cost.

Take that same dollar amount and put it in savings, and add just a few dollars a month to it.
That way if your bike breaks, you will have it. If not, your way ahead.

I've used mine twice so it's worked for me. My dealer is cool and never mentions the mods to the MOCO. Other dealers can be really **** about it and will snitch on you in a heartbeat.
