I paid about 1K for my 3yr. extended warranty. My plan includes all scheduled svcs. and free oil changes. I usually don't go the extended svc. route but I thought it was worth it this time.

One thing to remember, that dealers don't want to tell you, is that you always are eligible for extended warranty when still covered by factory warranty. Most of the time, if something's wrong, it will come up way before the warranty expires. However, if you have a problem bike, either get an extended warranty or have the problems documented before the warranty expires. Third is to get rid of the bike, but you lose your *ss. Extended warranties are the biggest profit item for dealers, and usually a bad deal for the consumer. I've never had E.W. on any vehicle or appliance (and never needed it), but I've never had reason to buy it either (think of it this way: the company is enjoying your money one year in advance). Wait until you can justify it and save the money for mods.
A word of caution: if you have mods, none of the warranties cover anything even if your dealer says so; they won't risk their franchise (to prevent rip-offs, dealers need to send pictures of the bikes showing VIN's on questionable repairs, and old parts for analysis all the time).

This is true I will be buying mine about 1 week before the factory runs out.
I'm a mechanic and work at a dealer and I am still going to buy one. Nothing like getting paid to work on your own bike!

My dealer sells the 3 year extended warranty for $350. If interested call Chenango Import Motors, Yorkville NY, 1-800-346-4246. Ask for
Dianne, tell her Sherm sent you.(If you don't tell her Sherm sent you the price will be $350.)
Have VIN and credit card handy.
note: this is the standard Suzuki warranty. The three years begin at the end of your first year of ownership.
I don't get a cut but they do let me sit on the new bikes. They also sell the R1 extended warranty for $378. Quite a few guys on the R1 forum have bought it from them.

I paid $480 for an additional 3-years, unlimited mileage warranty, that covers everything except "wear" items, such as brake pads, tire wear, etc. One-year warranty is standard. The total 4-year warranty may help if you ever think resale value will be a concern, not to mention the peace of mind in case something does go wrong.
