Anyway to get a warranty after the 1 year expires?

[ADVFireFighter]

Bought the S10 and it has 3800 miles on it...
It was bought last Jan. so its now expired...
Or just forget it and just ride?

I would suggest you go to your local dealer if you have a relationship, or reach out to one of the dealers that posts here.

There is a metric azzload of profit in the extended warranties and most manufacturers have some level of leniency (read $$$ penalty) to late registrations.

OR, don't sweat it. This board is very active and there are very few issues reported, and none of them as yet (AFAIK) expensive. I bought the yes on mine for 2 reasons. I did the PDP and wanted a little assurance on a first model year (US) bike. Second, I was a three-peat customer and my dealer is a volume dealer. He cut me a sweet price. Otherwise I likely would have passed. Bought YES on my FJR and it is at 50K and nothing but maintenance and mods.

I seldom use emoticons however just this one time:

It's been my experience with Yamaha on my 2013 3 mo old Tenere when the issue came up and still no answer they don't want to address any warrant issue so I am thinking how will they respond to a problem on a bike 2-4 years old. And I am not the only owner who is getting the silent treatment. My dealer has called several time to Yamaha in my presence so I know he is doing his part, I have called their national cust service people and talked to them and still nothing. It sure doesn't make me think I want to buy their YES.

Don't get me wrong I love this bike it is a great bike but all of a sudden Yamaha has gone from being the best to deal with on warranty issues to the worst according to my dealer who has all 4 of the Jap products.

In my experiance, if someone has a true warranty issue they step up fast and take care of the issue. I've been vary happy with other Yamaha warranty issues. I might suggest trying another dealer if possiable.

You can get a YES warranty after the original has expired. It requires an inspection of the bike. Some dealers will charge for this, some won't. You can buy the warranty and have the inspection performed at a different dealer.

See this thread, call him and he'll walk you through it.

I've had three warrenty issues with my Ténéré and all were handled super fast and way beyond/above my expectations. One was the replacing of the silver dash bezel which fell off while riding on the freeway- they had to replace the entire upper half of the speedo unit as you can't just get the silver piece around the LED screen. Retail on that part was around $179.

The second was the rubber on the gear shifter, mine fell apart after 1000miles.. $5.00 part, the third was the swing arm $$$$$$ the finish/paint on mine was odd/cloudy from day one. I even offered to have it powder coated at my expense if the dealer/Yamaha would pay/warrenty the removal and reinstall of the swing arm.. Yamaha said nope they would just replace the swing arm..

Sucks your having an issue, I was beyond happy with my warrenty stuff.. I just bought the Y.E.S. after 5 months 6000 miles on my bike.
