Warranty or Not????

[Confused]

1 week from today is the 1 year anniversary of picking up my sled. I've been on the fence about purchasing the extended warranty. I am very mechanical and do all my own work on everything. With that, should I go with the extended warranty or save the $650 and fix what comes on my own?

Get that warranty for peace of mind and better resale value.

Currently stock but would like to tune it someday.

Mechanically inclined, nope not worth it. 11,500 miles on my sled, no issues with BOP's fixes. What are the terms of the warranty, and how much do you ride?

Put all your faith into the new north America Yamaha snowmobile, they will look after you, no need for extended warranty, The winders are bullet proof, ride with pride.

If leaving it stock through the warranty period, then I would get it.

Powersports, get extended warranty, if offered.

Honestly, 1 repair (chaincase, driveshaft, etc.) will eat up $650 in a heart beat.

This is my biggest fear. On the other hand, if it takes a month to work on it, I'd prefer to pay for the parts and get it back on the snow myself.

If you have a good relationship with your dealer and you know the mechanics working on your sled are well experienced and take pride then yes.


I enjoy wrenching as much as riding so warranty means nothing to me after the odometer reaches 500 km

As someone that has been looking around at possibly having a Sidewinder in the garage sometime in the future (not now with these crazy prices) I can attest that I would easily spend $500-1000 more on an equal sled if I knew it had warranty. You never are 100% sure when you buy used and I'd at least like a year warranty to ensure that anything I can't fix (engine, turbo) is in good working order.
