Just purchased a 01 SERG with 29000 miles. I bought the 2 year extended warranty from HD. I know insurance is only good when you need it. So has anyone used it and what do you think of the service from it.

I have had limited use of mine..but each experience has been very positive..   one of the few that i think is worth buying

Depending on what type of extended you purchased.

There is a $50.00 deductable when you use it and it is seldom waived by a dealership.
if it is hard components @starter & starter clutch - you will get more than your money out of it - if that situation ever comes up. Without it and a repair has to be made - you will tell yourself your should have purchased it.

The dealership will take your Extended member number. They will type this into Talon (their system) and verify coverages. they can do 1 of 2 things - diagnose and estimate the full repairs and call this into the extended coverage personnel at HD. They will go over the repair complaint - what they found - all the parts and advise that dealership what they can and cannot do. Most times - everything is covered by that extended. But it will not be your dealership that has the 'say" - it is HD extended coverage personnel. if its engine stuff - Bill there is awesome and knows his business. Depending on what type of damage - they may send an agent out to look at it.

if a repair is near or under $50.00 - you will just want to pay for it, as you have that deductable anyhow.

Can you buy and extended warranty if the original is gapped?

[Supergas]

I purchased a 2 year when I bought the 01 SERK for $990.00 With a $50.00 Deductable. I did figure it was worth it due to the 3 days car rental food and hotel room. I was told I can extend it anytime before the 2 years expired or 75000 miles.

Sean,
The MoCo has two plans, the new plan, which you can get with no surcharge added up to 90 days or 3000 miles after purchase, or with a $150 surcharge added up to the last day of your factory warranty.  The second plan is the used motorcycle plan.  I'm not positive if you can just buy that, or if you can only get it if you buy a used bike from a dealership.  You might want to check into that.  Of course the used bike ESP is more than the new  ESP would cost you for the same terms.  I  also don't think you can get the wheel and tire road hazard warranty with the used bike ESP.  That coverage is definitely worth the money.

Thanks, gonna have to check into it - I am betting it is a bike from the dealer.

Yea, The bike I purchased was from a dealer

[bikerman101]

Dealer I spoke with said my warranty was over on my 2005 SEEG I just bought from a private party, but they will sell me their warranty (NOT HD), 5 year unlimited miles for 2300.00 or 4 year for 1995.00. Once they inspect the bike for themselves of course. Don't know if that is a good deal or not?

I dunno - do you need a root canal?  I spoke to a dentist who was a customer when I had my dive shop and we were discussing insurance.  He thought that insurance was not worth the cost, it was cheaper to pay for cleanings and checkups out of pocket...unless you needed a root canal (or similar).

I guess the same applies here - do you need a major service that will offset the cost?

Marine/Beer math says no...but I do my own work on all my stuff.

[Hoist!]

HeHe!! Wanna hear something funny? I'm thinking about getting the ESP myself!!!

Are ya'll aware that the dealer is not the only one who can do the ESP work? Well they're not. So if ya have an indy ya trust, you can still be under w.....ty and be in capable hands at the same time. Remember, it's an insurance policy, not a Factory W.....ty!

Hoist!

I'm a contractor now, remember!!!

The manufacturers provide the w.....tys!

We w.....ty our work of course, but steamfitters seem to do a better job welding than HD does!

And go back and read from 2 years ago if you want to see a W.....ty advocate!!! I don't think this place can take that again!!!


(And I didn't say I was getting it, just thinking about it, since I'd be able to use it again.)

Hoist!

I just wish people would quit calling these things "warranties".  They are extended service agreements.  You pay your money up front for repairs you may or may not need in the future.  If you don't need repairs, the money is wasted.  If you need repairs that total less than the price of the agreement, the difference is once again wasted.  If you hit the jackpot and need a new engine, you come out ahead.  The entire thing is a form of gambling, and you need to ask yourself "Do you feel lucky?".

BTW, normally an ESP is a great deal for the seller and a lousy deal for the actual customers.  In case you've ever wondered why everyone tries to sell you an ESP these days, even on a cheap $20 watch, it's because those agreements are a gold mine for the sellers.  Normally you would be money ahead to say no thanks, but with Harley's lack of quality and reliability I've changed my opinion.  Of course, if I were looking to buy one myself I think I would look for something from an independent company rather than reward the MoCo for their chitty quality.
