Long as you get it before one expires there are different options. My RPMOne expires in 17 plan on pricing them

i know there are after market warranties for cars, not sure about spyders though. Worth checking into especially with the cost of repairs on these babies.

Thinks out loud
Are we at the end of the line?
Have checked with the warranty department at our dealer and they say there's nothing available for units that have reached that age. I'm 2011 also, and expire towards the end of May.
Give a shout if you find something.

No Progress so far...
Just got off the phone with BRP.. they don't offer anything through B.E.S.T. beyond 5 years. Suggested I inquire at dealership to see if they offer anything. Will do Monday but I suspect they don't. I have had zero problems in 5 years with this machine except for 1 loose hose clamp.. I'm mechanically inclined... BUT the sophisticated electronics/brains/computers on this Spyder make me nervous without a warranty/roadside assistance. Last fall it went into Limp mode for about 10 seconds with my wife and I then shut down completely but restarted itself after about 15 seconds as we coasted along after I popped the clutch... ran fine after that.. just sayin the electronic brain makes me nervous...

I've been wondering about that myself, since mine expires soon.

If you can't find an extended warranty, You could consider putting the cost of any scheme into an emergency fund to only be used for unforeseen repair bills and even get interest on the amount you put aside if it's not used
You are also free to purchase and use 2nd hand parts especially with the number of Spyders around to keep the costs of repairs/replacement down
Hopefully you won't need to worry about it

Interest ?
Interest ? Yeah right... 1% tops (0.5% after taxes in The Peoples Republic of NY), lol.. but regardless the emergency fund idea may be the only option

How many miles on the '11? Unless mileage is exceptionally low wherein the emergency fund stash may be wise, consider putting the stash toward a future downpayment on a later model. You'll love the 1330 ACE engine and six-speed trans.

extended warranty
I just went through that same issue with my 2011 rts. My warranty was up Feb 17th. My dealer offered me a 5 year 50 dollar deductible just like the best for around a thousand dollars. I checked on others that was higher. I decided to put the money on a left over 2015 rts. I needed new front tires, battery was five years old and it had the original belt with 34863 miles.
I really like my 2015 rts. If you want more information on my dealer please pm me.

Thanks Chicken
Yup - my Battery is 5 yrs old too. Probably be a good preventive measure to have it replaced when I get it serviced... looks like they have to tear about half the bike Tupperware and rear end apart and then some to replace it. Who designs these things ? Denting the $3.5K already. There is no "Free Lunch" eh ?

Warranty Beyond 5 yrs
I just recently extended my warranty for 3 years. I was told at that time that BRP does not extend their warranty beyond yr 5.
I was not given any reason for their 5 yr warranty period.

Probably a reason to trade up
