First, lets remember that each area has it's own warranty programs and processes. Yamaha USA is not Yamaha Canada, Yamaha UK, etc.CanadianTenere said:I've had no luck with extended warranties or service plans. My experience is that they take my money and sit on it then look for any excuse to deny service. The seller has all the power. No more. I'll keep the money myself and take my chances!
Second, At least in the US, having a dealer that will go to bat for you with Yamaha is a HUGE part of this process. Having one that understands how to word the claim in the first place is crucial too.
Extended warranties are usually not a great gamble. But for <$400 for 4 years of coverage on a $15k vehicle, it's a bit better deal than on that toaster Walmart wants to sell you.
