Need to purchase the Extended Warranty

[tomp]

I did.  I bought my '08 on 7-7-07, and have upped the GTPP twice, and will up it again when I get back to work to extend my extension further. I do all my own services, so this is to cover catastrphic failures only, which far outcost this plans price.
I had my tps units replaced under my extended GTPP, that alone paid for itself.
Its a no brainer, and does add to resale value greatly..... if given the choice of buying another C14, and one had GTPP, the other had no warranty, id buy the one with it hands down, no matter what. Once it expires, you are on your own, and can never get it again...

Oh, and its $339 not $350

Yep, I was just rounding up the dollar figure.  The warranty does make sense.  Just need to find a spare $339...

Me too on everything you said (except mine was 25 July 2007 purchase).

Modern vehicles have such expensive parts that the cost of the warranty is less than even a single item failure in many cases; the ECU, the throttle body ass'y, etc., etc.. It is not like the olden' days when you could twiddle with carburetors, for example- if anything electronic fails, it is just not serviceable and the prices can be quite high.

It is all a matter of 'shooting the odds'. If I owned 100 C-14's, then the warranty would be a lousy value IMO. But only owning one, it really is a toss of the dice to have something considerably more expensive than the warranty fail w/in a three year period.

And I am curious as to whether we can extend it again also- I too will do so if I am able. Imagine, a motorcycle 12 years old with well over 100K miles on it still under factory warranty. :-)

What they said and mine was an early August 07 purchase.

You can extend it till Pete says no more, he is extending extensions daily... my advice if you have the pockets, is to extend, and when you get the papers saying its in effect, extend it again immediatly... you can do it man.... all good...

I'm on rationed spending, otherwise id do a double extendra right now.... in good for 2 more years on my 08, but I never intend to sell it...

Well, apparently that is over now.  No unlimited warranty extensions.

See new post on that...

Please refrain from further speculation on this untill I get confirmation from the man...
Posting as you did, places the burden of "I might be wrong" on your back, so please give me the info I p/m'd you about.
Thanx.

I did the $339 extension on my 2010 last month.  This was a three year extension added to the one year remaining on the original two year GTTP.  At the time of purchase Kawasaki.com showed a three year warranty available for my VIN # for  $798.  Since the purchase of the three year extension the only available option showing on the site is a twelve month extension for $508.  It appears that in my case six years is the limit on the extended warranty.

That being said, $339 is one heck of deal for three years of coverage.

Rich,


My post is THE FACTS, for all to see.  No speculation.

There might be more to your end of the story, but not at my end. 

I posted what actually happened.  Ultimate called me in response to my email,
I asked to extend the warranty, and was turned down point blank.  Period.

If somebody else gets an extension beyond nine years, great.

I DID NOT.  FACT.  There is no burden on me, or anyone, to do more than state the facts.

P. S. Yes, three more years for an already nine year old motorcycle with well over 100,000 miles for $339 would be pretty awesome.
