OK Hows this for retarded. I called the number on the HD website and asked about it....... I called 3 times........ I got 3 different answers. One said it starts on your in service date, another said it starts at the end of your factory warranty, and the third paused and said "I don't know"...gotta love honesty.

But all 3 agreed that you can get the ESP up until the day before your factory warranty runs out.

 

I added it to my 10 sg with the tire and wheel pkg,it already paid for a new rear tire still have 4 more years to go

 

It's worth it to Harley. The company makes money off of extended warranties or they would not offer it. For most of us, it will be a loosing proposition. Just like Vegas.

 

Extended warranties are a money grab and not worth the expense.

 

Mine's paid out more than it cost in less than two years. I have five years of coverage left. How is this not worth the expense?

 

Pipes and air cleaners do not void the warranty, unless they are crap made in someones garage..if you put a set of vance and hines and a KN air cleaner on your bike it is not going to void it..I have never had problems with my warranties..the one I just purchased starts after the factory one runs out..so I have 6 yrs tip to tip and paid less than 1200..so 300 a year or less than $30 a month..labor is what $90 an hour in Cali..I think it is worth it..one major repair pays for itself..

 

Someone wins every lottery too, with a lot of folks paying and not winning.

Best thing to do is not buy an extended warranty on anything (scooter, home, stereo, appliances, lawn mower, PC, etc, etc, etc), then when and if something breaks, you pay to have it fixed with part of the money you saved by not buying extended warranties.

Think about it - if extended warranties were not money makers for the company offering the warranties, they would not exist.

 

Can someone post a scanned copy of the ESP?

I would like to take a look at the details. Seems HD only lists
the sales brochure online.

 

Think about this...I paid $1470 for my warranty and it's paid out over $1700 so far in tires and towing alone.

If you ride your bike more than a couple thousand miles a year, and if you go on long trips away from your tools, and if you keep your bike more than two years, an unlimited-mileage warranty is money in the bank. My bike will have somewhere around 200,000 miles on it when my warranty expires. Given the number of things that have already been replaced, plus all the tires I'll be getting, I'm betting I see at least 15 times in return as compared to what I paid for the ESP.

 

On my 3rd Harley & have had the extended on all 3 but I have yet to ever need it. On my current bike I opted yet again (#3) to purchase it because it was out of the factory warranty & I got 5 YEARS from the date I purchased it. That's August of 2016 on an 08 RoadKing. Yep, expensive but 1 major repair & it will be worth it. BTW, I was given a pro-rated refund on both of the other bikes when I traded them in. Piece of mind of me.
