I want to buy the 600sp but don't know if it would be worth it to get the extra warranty. What would you do? They want $6500 OTD for the bike. The Warranty is $750 if I get it. Give me some input guys. Thanks.

Just be carefull some of the warranties don't cover anything that will ever break. My father got the warranty and everytime he took it in for somethng they said that the warranty didn't cover that.

That's right. Read over the warranty info with a magnifying glass. Alot of times companies only cover major failures and would consider tie rods,ball joints, drive axles,etc, wear items and wouldn't cover them. I take it $750 might be 3 years? If you plan on riding alot and the warranty looks good, might not be a bad idea. Just remember, ask as many questions as you can on the front end and there will be no surprises.Bubba

I personally would pass on the warrenty but I am the type of person who wouldn't be afraid to take it apart if something happened. Keep in mind that they are selling these warrenties to make money. On the other hand if taking the extended warrenty puts your mind at ease then take it.

Many of the things that can go wrong with the atv more than likely will not be covered by the warrenty because they are NORMAL WEAR ITEMS.

Just my two cents

Are you planning to do any drivetrain mods to the machine? If so, some negate what little warrenty you had to begin with. Just another thing to think about...If you are not content with the way the machine is in stock form, will you want to keep it that way for the next three years?
