I recently purchased a 2007 Honda Shadow Aero 750 and also purchased an extended warranty for $750.00. By the time I pay off the loan, the extended warranty will end up costing me about $1300.00. I read the pamphlet on the warranty and it appears to me that they exclude just about everything.
Honda motorcycle owners, is the extended warranty worth it or should I get out now while I still can?

1. It depends on which warranty you bought. The factory extended warranty is good, the others are a waste of money. 2.. If you are going to roll up over a hundred thousand miles, (unlikely) on that Shadow in 4-6 years, and you do not do the required maintenance,, than yes. But for the average rider to buy a bulletproof Honda street bike, and pay good money for a extended warranty is a waste of Your good money. Cancel the warranty, change your oil every three thousand, read your owners manual, and ride free.

The factory offered extended warranty mirrors the factories original warranty. The only thing excluded are normal maintenance and wear and tear items. That being said, they can also be a huge profit center for the dealership with the average mark up being 100%. I.E. that $750 warranty actually cost the dealership around $325.
I negotiated the extended warranty into the deal on my bike, and ended up getting the 4 year unlimited mileage package for $350. Is it worth it? The average labor rate in my area is $75 an hour. All it takes is any kind of manufacturers defect problem that requires more than 4.5 hours of labor to fix, much less parts and it has paid for itself. That coverage in my case is for 6 years from the time I took delivery of my bike (two year original warranty, 4 year extended).
My particular bike has had some problems with windshields cracking and weepy valve covers. As I've already replaced the windshield twice at no cost to me, I feel the warranty has paid for itself. If the valve covers ever start leaking, requiring the engine to be pulled to fix them, I'll be ahead in the game.
Otherwise it's just cheap insurance. But I'd never pay full price for it...

Don't waste your money on an extended warranty. Honda street bikes are built solid. If it was a dirt bike or an ATV, then I'd say get it. If your bike should happen to have any problems and you've had a good repartee with the service manager, he can ask Honda to repair your bike under Honda's "good will program". The "good will program" is Honda's way of saying, "We're sorry, that might have been a manufacturing defect on our part and we want to keep our customers happy. Since you're bike is out of warranty, we'll replace the parts free of charge. Your only responsibility will be to pay any labor costs."

No No No. The extended warranty is a ploy to take your money. Besides you bought a Honda, it isn't going to give you any problems

Don't get the warranty. With minimal maintenance, nothing will go wrong with a Honda.
