shift4life Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I picked up a fz with 700 miles on it. Should I do a warranty it is 420 more for an additonal 3 years. Give me your thoughts. With the bike being so new it hasn't really been around long enough to see if it is problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze87 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm still sitting on this one, but leaning towards no personally. I'd also love some input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmaldo616 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I think u should think how long you plan to keep it if your gonna do any upgrades that would void that warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift4life Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Dealer claims oil was just changed but I will still probably switch over to synthetic. And I test rode it started right up no weird noises and ran smooth. I just feel like I will get the warranty and never use it I am a mechanic to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted March 21, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted March 21, 2015 I did not get the warrantee. I figure that if it has not failed in the first year I am probably okay. It is not a very complex bike so I figure if something breaks I can probably fix it. I suppose I will find out in another four years whether I am a genius or an idiot .

ryderjay Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Owned a lot of yamaha motorcycles, raced em, etc. I've never required the warranty. Keep up with regular maintenance and yamahas (most bikes these days really) will last a long, long time. Buddy of mine had a 05 R1 with 172k miles on it last we spoke. He had to replace the valve springs and clutch due to wear outside of regular maintenance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she3pdog Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 If I could do it over again, I wouldn't get the warranty. I'm already to the point of wanting to do upgrades that would void the warranty, so I'm not really sure it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebmike88 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I bought a brand new FZ07 and got the Y.E.S warranty. I mean it's really not all that much considering my bank gave me a great rate and i put 20% down. I normally opt out for extended warranty for electronics but i figure if I'm going to buy a 6k new bike i might as well get the coverage for that "just in case" and peace of mind.

Premium Member maybe07 Posted March 24, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted March 24, 2015 There's another thread at http://fz07.org/thread/1871/yamaha-extended-service-price-ebay. Cruizin talked me into saving my money and not getting the warranty. But I don't fault anyone at all for getting the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
