No

 

Put it this way - $1800 or what ever it costs will go a long way fixing what ails you if it's just stock stuff. I'd suggest you "self-insure" ie put the money aside literally or figuratively and if you need it spend it. If you don't - just remember how lucky you were not to buy the package.

 

I would say get the warranty. The Ultra has a lot of electronics that can be very costly if something should go wrong.Just ride with no worries.

 

I've bought and mounted tires for a whole lot less than $1800. I never buy the extended warranty. I figure if you have to insure a product for an extended period for piece of mind than it's probably too much of a risk and not worth buying in the first place. It's simply a money maker for the Dealer and the Moco who know that the vast majority will not have to make a claim on the warranty. Just my .02 worth.

 

I have the 7 year extended warranty with wheel and tire coverage on my '07 Ultra. It all depends on how long you plan on keeping the bike. I tend to keep them for 10 years or more before trading. The wheel and tire has already more than paid for itself having had 3 flat tires. (2 rear and 1 front). I have only used it once for other items though, which would have run me around $200 to fix. It is your call. It is a piece of mind to me on my ride. I never buy it on most electronics or other stuff.

 

Good points, and that is why I also got the 7 year. If you are going to buy a warranty, it is best to get as many years as you can so the cost per year is less. And I'm figuring it will pay back more the older the bikes gets.

I bought the 7 year when I bought my 06 2 years ago right before the factory warranty expired. By the way (in case you don't know) the 7 year warranty is only 5 years because they count the 2 year factory warranty in with 7 years. I've already used the warranty 2 times. Once for the radio (a few hundred dollars) and the second time for the cam chain tensioners repair. I did an upgrade to the cams and had the hydraulic cam chain tensioners put in when they fixed the bad tensioners, so I saved the labor costs to have those upgrades now since they were in there fixing the warranty stuff. Since they had the exhaust pipes off, they also replaced my pipes to dresser duals without any additional labor costs.

The warranty on the Ultra makes more sense since there is more that can go wrong.

 

If you NEED an extended warranty then get rid of the bike.

 

Got the EW, tire and wheel too for my 2009 Ultra...one month later had a nail in my rear tire....dealer said new tire...did not cost me a dime..
Well worth the $$$$....for me anyhow..

 

HAHA, good point. Here's the big question anyone who is considering buying one needs to remember: Why is the dealer charging X amount of dollars for this service/add-on? Simple, it costs them less to provide the service/add-on than they sell it for (on average with a thing like insurance, absolutely the case if we are talking about tangible accessories). Food for thought.

 

Of course it did. It cost $1800 or whatever you paid for the warranty
