How many have purchased the extended warranty, tire and wheel and microdot. Im picking up my new cvo concord tommorrow and I cant decide if I want to purchase all the extras. thanks

[JCZ]

I got the full seven years on mine plus tire and wheel (what's microdot?).  And the extended warranty has more than paid for itself on the last three bikes.

How much is the seven year warranty?

I believe the extended warranty is about $1,500. The microt is identification technology, its dots they put all over your bike with data for police to help recover your motorcycle, you need a special lense to see it. I personnaly do not want it.

I took the full boat also. Have always purchased the extended warranty on all my bikes.
They will deal on it so try and get it for less.

You might want to search in this board (General Discussion) there are already 17 threads about "Extended Warranty" in the Subject/Title of the thread.

 The extended warranty just paid for a new front tire for my serk.

If I'm going to keep the bike more than two years, I always buy the full extended warranty.  Even if you don't keep it, that warranty is transferable and makes the bike way easier to sell.  I've always been glad I had it and my dealer (Fullerton H-D) takes very good care of me with all warranty issues!

got mine thrown in with the deal, haggle with them it only cost the dealer 900 dollars so thy can do better  [ thats on the extra 5yrs w/out tires and wheels]  remember thy just made 7000.00 on you allready if you paid msrp so if you paid over msrp thy made even more   good luck

 I think you have 90 days to get the warranty to save the $150, at the end.
Doing the 90 days, you can buy the warranty from any dealer.
A few dealers will offer a DISCOUNT up to 20% off the cost.
 I have a few dealers here in my area that mark the warranty up.
Look at the literature which shows the pricing. I had friends that paid
over $200 more then the warranty really cost, be careful.
I got mine at 20% off, best investment I ever made (on a Harley).

One serious issue with engine or drivetrain more than covers cost of warranty. My situation was valve guide seals leaking. Once under factory warranty, twice under extended warranty. Now waiting for NEW heads (supposed to be in today). Just my experience.

I needed a seven year loan to pay for my bike, so I took out the seven year warrenty.  A major engine issue would put me out of commission, so this way I know as long as I'm paying on the bike I can afford to keep it on the road.

I've never purchased an extended warranty on my bikes nor vehicles but I've strongly debated it for the CVO.  The motor stuff isnt as important to me as the chrome peeling, tires, and things like that.  If the motor stuff starts happening I'll replace it with aftermarket parts that are hopefully a bit better in quality.
I need to make the decision soon,  only one more month for me.

I got the 5 years at a cost of 1000.00, I am not sure about the tires and wheels. Is there a special warranty for those I need to get and if so what does it cover and how much should it cost?

   Maybe I'm reading that wrong, but if I'm not, you need to research just exactly what is covered by the Extended Service Plan.  No cosmetic items are covered that I'm aware of, so forget about it if you're only worried about peeling chrome or paint problems or other similar things.  And the tire and wheel policy doesn't cover normal wear and tear or defects, it's basically a road hazard policy.  Hit a curb and blow the tire and bend the rim, you're covered. Just wear out the tire, not covered.  Chrome peels on the wheel, not covered.  Wheel won't hold air due to interior corrosion, not covered.  In fact, it would be an excellent idea to get a written description of the coverage and a full list of all the exclusions and other fine print long before you make your final decision.

I've never purchased an extended service agreement, and I figure over the past 10 years alone I'm many thousands of dollars ahead of the game.  So I normally don't recommend an ESP, based on my personal experiences as well as recommendations by various consumer groups.  BUT, considering the sorry state of quality and reliability at the MoCo these days, I would have to say that if I were to purchase one of their products now (fat chance), I would definitely plan to find a good deal on an ESP for at least 5 years (3 years beyond the factory warranty).  I wouldn't pay the dealer a big profit on the plan after paying him a hefty profit on the bike, and if he didn't want to negotiate I'd find a different business that would.  There are plenty of places that will discount the ESP at least 20%.
