I never have bought an extended warranty for ANYTHING, until now. My 08 CUSE went in for starting problems (grinding) and kickout....now it's waiting for new starter, compensator, clutch basket, and...get this...kick stand! Almost $1000 in parts alone. So, with one month left on warranty, I purchased 3 more years extended. Call it no confidence that the bike will be reliable. This is the 3rd warranty trip: one for a minor oil leak at the oil filter cooler adapter; one for the rear cylinder auto compression release; and now the starter, et al. Been in the shop now 2 weeks....sigh....not too good for a $35k motorcycle now, is it?
Actually, I believe the failed compression release damaged the starter and related parts so I give that a single failure, but then there is the oil leak, and one for the jiffy (kick) stand. Too many in 30,000 miles.
