I took advantage of the deal VirginiaJim set up with his dealership. About $100 per year is worth it to me for the peace of mind. I will have the bike for at least 6 years total and I average about 15k per year, so it is well worth it in my opinion. Like insurance, I hope I never have to use it.

Actually, that was Rich (MOB) that set it up....thanks go to him.

FYI
I took my 08 in to a "dealership" ( unfortunatly not Ultimate, as I have moved from richmond to Ohio...) this year in Sept., for the second brake lever recall, and also to get TPS sensors replaced (on Kaw...), and asked that dealer about offering a lower price on GTPP. When we were looking at the printout of my bike history and records online there, I looked at the screen,and on thier print out, ind in big bold letters mid page it said:

Customer Qualifies / can take advantage of further GTPP extensions for $312 / 36 mo. plan.

The parts Service folks showed this to me. I had to "go up front" to talk to the sales Dork there in order to worm him into it.... he said he absolutely couldn't sell it for less than $500... ??? ::) ::)

I told him he wasn't gonna sell one to me for that price. And reminded him if he was that concerned with pocketing the $200 commision on that, he wouldn't pocket a $0.01 from comission from a bike sale from me ever....have a nice day.... 60% commision my azzz
Tht'd be like hanging a sign on a C14 asking $24k...
 ::)
I also told him I'd be calling Pete for another extend=o shortly.... ;)

All in all, if Pete earns a 10% commish on his sale, it is completely justified, and seeing as since he began he has litterally sold hundreds of GTTP because he was generous, and we as a group went to him in droves, it makes it a good thing. 8) 8) 8)

Rich, are you on your second GTPP now or does the above message refer to your second? I'm on my second now, warranty good till 5/2018. Can I get a third and cover my bike till 2021?

I'm not sure that Kwak central would be that silly, Conrad but it's worth a try.  Don't think I'll keep my 08 that long.  I think by the time my second extension goes out I'll be looking at a slightly newer model.

I was just curious more than anything Jim. I'll be ready for something new by then as well.

I blushingly admit I am only on my first original extension, it is good till July of this year, 2013. I have been hoarding money as of late, being careful till momma returns to work, prolly March.
I'm gonna call pete this week, and re-up pro-actively tho.
And yes, you can purchase another one as soon as you get the paperwork from the one you buy, pretty much you can buy them back to back, a week apart.
I might even do that myself. That would cover me till July 2019...I don't foresee ditching my original "new bike" untill it has 200k on it. Dammit, I sold my 86 with 138k, and I want to get a 200k COG sticker for at least one bike...heheheheheheheh 8)

Just got my GTPP card from Kawasaki for my second extended warranty. My 09 that I purchased in Sept.2008 is warranted until Sept. 2017. I have never had anything that had a 9 year warranty for just $678 extra.

Just got ANOTHER notice from Mama-Kawi that I needed to renew my warranty. This is the third one! They actually came down on the price this time, it's only $731.45 for the 3-year GTPP!!!   :o :o

All I can say is, "All hail Richmond Pete"!!!!!!!!!  :hail: :chugbeer: :hail:
