Seems like I saw a thread recently about ext' warranties but can't find it. If I remember, there were others available from 3rd party that were more cost effective than Hondas. Close to running out on both my 'bird and my RT and wondering if anybody has experience and/or names of companies that provide them.

thanks,

Francis

NO! The aftermarket coverages are shit and are more expensive.

Dealer cost on the official 4-year extension is $300, MSRP is $600. My dealer will sell it to anyone I refer by phone for $450. It covers everything that the original warranty does, no deductibles, no bullshit. If you keep your HRCA membership, together they even cover expenses if you get stranded overnight, and more.

I'm currently looking at getting the extended protection plan also. I have emailed several dealers to request quotes for the Honda Protection Plan. I will give everyone a few more days to respond and will report back what I find. So far the best price I got was $395 for the 4 year extension.

Let us know. Mine is about to run out to, but $400.00 for four years sounds good to me.


Chad

I will. If anybody else is interested, leave a message here. If there is any chance of getting a volume discount based on the number of members interested, I will attempt to get a better price. I am going to give my email inquiries till Wednesday and see what I have by them. I may also try calling a few dealers.

What Carlos said :cool: If your planning on putting some miles on go for it I average about 15,000 a year :cool: and mine paind for itself and then some

New steering head bearing, went with tappered

New rear shock

With parts and labor about $700.00

My cost 0 :wink:

Harry

Any chance on getting one of those warranties for my '97 with 10k miles?

I purchased it used about 2 months ago from a local Honda dealer. They wanted about $600 for a 1 year warranty. I told them to pound salt.

Chad,

With the miles you put on your bike, it's a no-brainer (I went for the extended warranty in January).

Hugo

How long is the factory warranty good for? I have a 01. Would an extended warranty be a good idea for someone who rides very little? Just to be on the safe side? Since I go to school, I have only put 1,100 miles on it, spends most of its time parked :cry: Thanks for any help!

Steve

Steve, that's really a shame (you're mileage). Just curious, why did you buy the bike?

Joe

Joe, to be honest with you, it was an inheritance (I am only 24). So, I did not buy the bike. I would like to ride more, but time does not permit at this time since I go to school. Its not like I neglect it though, nothing could be farther from the truth. Heated garage, stays covered, started frequently and the like. I treat my bike like a queen :wink:

Thats why if you see my posts/questions, they appear to be elementary. I am learning as MUCH as I can about it.

When I ride though, I RIDE. I love this bike, and I don't ever plan on selling it! :lol:

Steve

They are pretty close for the cost of the 4 year warranty. I am going to try and call a few of the other dealers that didn't respond yet and will post any results. I am also going to ask about any type of volume discount we might get. Including myself, it appears that there might be 3 of us interested. When I talk to them, I will see what kind of discount we can get with 3, 5, and 10 unit purchases for the 48 month. Will update Thursday night.

I'm definately interested.... I need some sort of coverage on it... like others have said....more than likely the cost of one replacement item will cover the pro-plan cost..

P.S. looking for four year//

this is unlimited mileage too---if you sell the bike, the will send you a pro-rated refund---I paid $350 for 5 years (total) for the 929-I may actually use it, as the trackdays are pretty hard on it

azxr,

thanks, and expedite, Thursday great, i have to make a decision on my '02 very soon.

I called and talked to the three individuals that emailed me and here is what I got.

Honda of Russellville - Contact Roger Shatwell - 479-968-2233
4 year HPP = $385 + 7.62% tax = $414.35
no discount for us

Directline parts Inc. - Contact Jon - 800-785-6761
4 Year HPP = $440 no tax
no discount for us

BlueRidge Powersports - Contact Alan Landes - 800-296-2735
4 Year HPP = $395 no tax
Discounted price if we can get 5 or more to buy at the same time - $375

It looks like BlueRidge is the best deal even if we don't get the discount.

From looking through the thread, it looks like there are 5 of us.

FLK, Chester, FloridaXXbird, Bhanxx, and myself. So if all of you or anybody else are definitely interested, we should try and coordinate to call next week with credit card in hand. I mentioned we would identify ourselves as members of the CBR1100xx owner's org.

Are the 4 of you or anybody else ready to buy? If so, I would like to coordinate so we can call on Monday or Tuesday.

I believe we will need our VIN number, current mileage, and should know when our original warranty runs out.

I'm ready- still looking for one for the beemer, though.

Francis

I just got back from my dealer ( motorcycle) to find out more about my warranty. It seems when I bought my bike, I also bought the PCP (Prefered custermer plan). What is included in the PCP, is a 2 year extention of the factory warranty :-o . So I still have 2 more years :grin: :grin: . YAHOO!!! At the end of this, it should put me at least 60,000 miles. I'll get my money's worth allright. So I will not be doing a group buy in :sad: .


Chad

flk,

thanks for doing the research. now that i know the price, i will think on it asap and get back at ya. where is the best place to go to get details on the coverage? i read it once when i bought the bike, but have forgotten all the details.

http://www.hondamotorcycle.com/the_goods/h...es+%26+Scooters

for info on the HPP.

Also, it was me that did the research. Since there are only 4 of us now, it doesn't look like we will be able to get the additional $20 off. So unless somebody else speaks up soon and wants to make it 5, the rest of us should feel free to call one of the contacts above and purchase the 4 year HPP.

Dave

:roll: oops, sorry Dave, me confused ...
thanks for the link ...

so do we have one more? If not, I'll be ready to do it tmorrow I guess.

I appreciate all the time you put into it azxr. Good bunch here.

Alan just called me and says he will sell the 4 year extended warranty to members of the forum for $350 by calling him individually, no need for group rate. it has to be done in the next couple of days so he gets it in on this month's quota. i told him i would post it on the forum.

Someone said earlier that the R/R changed on the '02/'03 models and i checked www.ronayers.com and there is in fact a new model # replacing an older one. does anyone know the track record of the newer R/R and is it less prone to failure. that would be replaced on warranty, right?

At the rate i racking on the miles, i will be approching 60k after 5 years, $350 for extended oem coverage is getting very tempting.

That's interesting. When I talked to him the previous week, it was still $395. I guess as it get near the end of the month, they get desparate for sales. Thursday right before I left for work, and a long weekend, the Honda of Russelville dealer called me and offered it to me for $387 which includes tax.


Is that $350 include tax? I am going to purchase tomorrow.

i forgot to ask about tax, but the previous quote was without tax, so i will ass/u/me there is no tax w the $350 price. month end is the best time to deal on a lotta stuff, esp. on big ticket items like cars.

boy, if this was a hardly, that would be a fantastic deal, but seeing it's a bird u gotta weigh the risks by asking 'how lucky do i feel punk'?

Any chance on getting an extended warranty on a 1997 XX with 11,000 miles. It was recently purchased used at a local Honda dealer.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know about third party warranties, but the HPP is only good if purchased while your machine is still under the original warranty. See the section labeled "Deadline" at the link above I posted.

I just ordered the 4 year HPP from Alan Landes at Blue Ridge Powersports. The $350 did include tax. If interested, their number is 1-800-296-2735. He mentioned that if anybody else is interested, he would appreciate them calling by the end of this week. I think it is a sales quota type thing. I am not sure if he will be able to do the $350 after that, but if you want the plan you might try giving him a call.

Remember that the extended HPP is only good if your bike is still under the original warranty.

Dave

Dave,

I'm assuming u have an '02 bird (me too). What arguments did u use to convince yourself the HPP was a good value, or r u just looking at it as an insurance to ensure fixed costs for that potential type of part failure? If was anything other than a Honda it would be a no brainer.

Bruce,

In my case, it seems to me that $87.5 per year for a warranty is cheap insurance just "in case" their is a problem. Based on all I know about the bird, I don't expect a problem. I do plan on piling on some miles over the next couple of years, so it seems like a logical thing to do. Also, I don't plan on selling the bike, however if I should decide to sell (read new CBRXX in future), I believe it may offer the prospective purchaser some peace of mind.

Finlly had a chance to order the ext' war' from Blue Ridge- now my XX will never break! Thanks to azxr for all the legwork!


Other Fl' residents may run into a glitch because we have a weird law in place about warranties falling under ins' guidelines and all kinds of other mess. The way around it seems to have an out of state address Honda can push through. Alan at Blue Ridege is checking out the specifics now.

Just posting this for completeness. Still getting back some replies and want to post for comparison if others are looking in the future.

Castle Powersports - near Nashville Tennessee

An exteneded Honda Protection Plan on your bike retails as follows:
12 months - $400
24 months - $500
36 months - $590
48 months - $690
(plus tax)

If you purchased your bike here, or if you have your service work done here, I will hook you up with a 10% discount. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Give me a call with any questions at 615-851-4438.

Thanks,

Don't mean to be a trouble maker but when you buy a brand new bike, Honda contacts you by the end of the first year to extend the warranty for 600 bucks (direct from them).

I think you are just trying to be a trouble maker. :wink:

I don't advocate purchasing from them, just wanted to post for completeness. Didn' know Honda will contact new owners. I ended up purchasing it for $350 from a dealer listed above.

They did it for me, so I assume they do it for everybody.
