I seem to recall hearing that Florida has something in their laws, that causes this problem...
Well you're right; it IS an excuse for a good ride!

Hmmmmmmmmm. That has me thinking whether I should get an extended warranty. When I originally purchased my 2013 RT-S, I didn't get the extended warranty because my plan was to trade every two years. I posted this thought sometime ago on here, and it was pointed out to me that I ought to have the extended warranty because it was a "good selling point" in that it would be transferable. (I know I know the originator of this thread was talking about a different transferability).
Now that I've seen this post, my thinking is that if I buy an extended warranty, it is certainly transferable to my "potential buyer", BUT my "market" so to speak would be limited to those who only live close to my dealership where I purchased the extended warranty. In other words having an extended warranty, and more specifically RPM One, means nothing to a potential buyer who may live in E.B.F.E.
Any thoughts on this one?

Florida's laws about extended warranties are very confusing. Out of Florida, BEST covers to any BRP dealer regardless of where it is purchased. Someone needs to investigate this further.

Florida..!!
has some strange extended warranty issues. You will have to do some investigating. If the drive is a bit much you may be able to cash in the balance and apply it to one in the new area..

Because of this thread, I went down to my dealer, Seminole Power Sports in Sanford, Flarda, to make inquiry about this issue. RPM One is the extended warranty company that they use. I asked if RPM One had transferability as was mentioned by the OP in this thread. I was advised that it was. I mentioned the issue that was raised here, and the salesman's response was that he could understand (IF) the spyder had an issue during extended warranty (AND) that this issue raised its ugly head again. In that given situation, he understood why you would need to go back to the original dealer. I proposed to him the hypothetical that I having RPM One and being past the manufacturer's warranty and into the RPM One warrnty AND having a breakdown say in Georgia or North Carolina, would I have to have my spyder fixed in Sanford. He said absolutely not. He said that RPM One would honor any warranty issue at a dealer other than where I had originally purchased my spyder, and thusly, the extended warranty insurance.
Perhaps I should get this in writing? You never know when these slick shyster lawyers get involved with these things. <smiles>

If I'm not mistaken the OP was speaking about a maintenance plan vs. an extended warranty.

It appears that you are exactly right. However, I was unaware that RPM One provided a maintenance plan. Extended warranty yes, but maintenance plan? I'm not too sure about that. Perhaps we are comparing or talking about oranges to apples?

I was beginning to wonder about that. Maintenance Plan and Warranty are related, but different. If someone else was paid to do a job, would you want to do it? I may be all wet on this, but that seems to me what it boils down to. Ride safely, CH

Went and purchased my RPM One extended warranty today. 3 years in addition to the 2 year manufacturer's warranty. Basically means I'm insured for 4 more years. No deductible.
