All About New Motorcycle Warranties

When purchasing a motorcycle, one of the crucial factors to consider is the warranty. Motorbike warranties typically include coverage for parts and labor needed for repair work due to manufacturing defects. To help understand your warranty fully, read through it carefully: find out what's covered and for how long. Knowledge of your bike’s warranty can give you peace of mind that any faults that occur within the specified period will likely be borne by the manufacturer. Here’s all you need to know about bike warranties!

Evaluating Added Value 

Apart from ensuring defect-proof rides for a specific period, warranties add value when you sell your bike. Motorcycles with an active factory warranty tend to fetch higher resale prices than those without a warranty. This helps assure prospective buyers they are purchasing a good-quality machine.

Warranty Periods

Warranty periods vary between manufacturers but typically range from one year with unlimited mileage to two years with limited mileage. Some manufacturers go above this norm by offering longer warranty periods and additional benefits like roadside assistance as part of their deal. Therefore, compare different offers when shopping around.

Types of Warranties 

Motorcycle warranties come in two major types: limited and full coverage. Limited warranties cover only specified parts of the bike, while full coverage deals offer comprehensive protection against defects throughout your motorcycle. Make sure to find out what type fits best with your motorbiking needs and habits.
