I have extended warrenty on mine till aug 2015 just a shame I wrote it off lol got all the papers still shame you cant transfer it to another bike
I've got extended warranty. no need for ducati one. £220 for a year and they given me 3 month free. so 15 month for £220 and they offered me interest free finance , but i could not be fucked going through the paperwork. considering every small bit on that bike cost a fortune , for example replacement clocks is £1500 ! you will be mad not to get one
I asked about this today when 899 was in getting some warranty work done. Announcement on Monday and as someone mentioned it seems its a legality thing. New scheme very similar but backed by people who do Audi's. Probably variable prices too.
Makes me more likley to keep the extra year now, as I never intended too, and manage the issue with two up riding on those occasions
They thought needed to replace the sensor and told me that the part was £600 plus VAT. But I believe Ducati later released an update saying only a cable reroute was required!
Is this with 'warranty direct' I had a warranty with them for my 1098 and I'm going to take a policy out for the 1199 in the next couple of months. Like you say it's £220 and you just renew it every year like an insurance policy so technically your bike is always under warranty of the worst happens.
Someone asked this a while ago. Under certain circumstances I believe it is transferable. If it's important to you, I'd advise checking the terms of your warranty. Last year I wrote the following in answer to someone's query regarding whether or not the warranty was capable of being transferred: "If the terms of your warranty are the same as mine, then Yes. Inform Ducati of the transfer of title immediately. I believe there's a form in the warranty booklet for this. Clause 6 or 8 "Entitlements" I think it is of the warranty that I purchased specifically sets out the rights of transfer etc. Check your terms in case your agreement differs from mine. I bought mine not that long ago and so am relying upon what I think I can remember. I'm reasonably confident it expressly sets out the conditions for transfer either to another person or another bike owned by you if the original bike covered by the contract is destroyed or lost in the 1st 24 months."
To my mind the extended warranty is a no-brainer. £280 is swallowed up in no time should the bike suffer a failure of any kind. The flux capacitor alone is £4k to replace (excl. labour). KTM pulled their extended warranty option scheme a few years back at the drop of a hat and did not make it public. Months later the KTM website continued to incorrectly advertise the extended warranty option for new bikes despite the fact it had abandoned the scheme several months earlier.
I think the bike has to be under 10 years old and not done more than 100k miles, and has to be serviced in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations, but doesn't necessarily have to be serviced by the manufacturer, so you'd not be tied to having your bike serviced by Ducati.
It's the timing not the cost, don't they know some of pay most of our tax in January! I had two e mails yesterday one for each bike looks like I'm faced with £600 or gamble.
