[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1187396, member: 19880"] I look at it like insurance, not a warranty. ON AVERAGE, you will get less out of an extended warranty package than you paid for it. In essence, you are betting that the bike will be less reliable than Yamaha thinks it will be. Having said that, I don't know whether I would get a YES package with a new bike or not; it COULD save a lot of heartache if I happened to get a lemon. I think I would do it for a new model and probably if I got the ES - unknown reliability for a complex system and potentially expensive repair. The FJR has been so darn reliable in terms of major systems reliability. Is the cost worth the peace of mind and if something goes south on you can you fix it or would you rely upon your dealer? (Do you even trust your dealer to diagnose and fix any major issue? I don't have much faith in the local guys) Only you can answer. [/QUOTE]
