Manufacturer's warranty would be yes.  ESP service contracts would depend on what the contract says.  Call the service contract customer service number and ask them directly, if you don't trust the dealer.

Btw, what else are they replacing other than the lifter and the oil?  If there is metal in the oil, there is metal throughout the engine.

Oil is not covered clutch brake pads its a wear item if a dealership took care of it then it was nice of them. Weird I know but oil is cheap compared to the rest of the deal. No reason you cannot drop off oil that you bought either  ;D

I hope they split your cases and cleaned the "Entire Motor" and Oil Cooler if you have one.

All too common it seems.
Sad the moco doesn't have this in check.

I worked in the dealership back when the T/C had cam bearing failures. You really do not want to know how many where full of metal that got a few new parts. oil filter and shipped down the road. HD warranty.  :2vrolijk_21:

I would make sure they take off your pan or clean out your oil tank.  (what model bike)  It doesn't matter who is paying.  It needs to be done.  I do know if the dealer has to change your engine.  There is no warranty on the new one if they don't do this.
