Factory/Extended Warranty..what really voids it?

[MikeT]

A Related Warranty Question:

My BRP Factory Warranty expired on 04/01/2018. Being a first time Spyder Owner, I purchased the BEST Extended Warranty from Berts right away in 2015. Hopefully I saved some money compared to what it would have cost in 2018. My BEST Warranty expires on 04/01/2020. Eventhough I have the 2019 riding season(May-November) under the BEST warranty, I'm looking ahead. Does anybody know if there's any Extended Warranty available through any company beyond the 5 years of the BRP+Best warranty???
Does Bert's still give discounts to Spyderlover members?
Thanks
Mike

There are aftermarket companies that will write policies on Spyders 5 yrs and older. However, none of them have a great reputation for actually paying claims. Save your money or buy a new bike.

As I see it....

You can do prettry much anything you want to your vehicle...after all it is yours to do as you want. Now if the modifications prove to be the cause of the failure the manufacturer can refuse to cover the repair. Sometimes they will meet you half way if in doubt like pay for parts not the labor. Now aftermarket parts you have to remember to go to those manufacturers for claims...EBC brakes give you problems you can't blame BRP. Some issues are more involved with the dealer and BRP may not cover their mistakes if any...:dontknow: so your claim would be with the shop and not the manufacturer. I really have no use for the extended warranties as if it doesn't brake of fail by the end of the manufacturers warranty , they way I drive, it pretty much isn't gonna....

I am the 2nd owner of my bike. Did some research on it before buying. It was sold to the original owner with a "Lamonster Package". The first owner took delivery of the bike with aftermarket Elka shocks, Lighted bump-skid, BajaRons sway bar with Lamonster links, highway pegs, along with a few other BRP add-ons. The bike was delivered new with these mods. Never a warranty question.
