You can buy 1-4 years of extended coverage. I will post the prices on a new thread Monday. To make it interesting for now, 4 years of Yamaha YES warranty will cost $430.00. It must be purchased while the existing 1 year factory warranty is current and it is in addition to that warranty. Read up on yamahas website.

The liver is evil and must be punished
I remember something about only being able to buy the warranty from a Florida dealer if you live in Florida, anyone know if this is true?

The YES is a really good extended warranty. I used it several times over the 168k on my FJR and with one exception, it was always a smooth process. While it's only good in the US & Canada, I would ask specifically if it works at a Yamaha dealer outside that area, when the bike owner is from the US/Canada.
I would suspect it may work fine if you're on the road and need warranty work done, but it would be better to know for sure if you're planning a world tour. After all, the bike would still be registered in the US/Canada, so everything should funnel thru that system, eventually.

Correct. At least that is what I got.stevepsd said:
My dealer offered the 4 year for 400.00 even money. No tax.
Does anyone know how strict or liberal Yamaha is regarding mods when making a Y.E.S claim? One of the reasons that I've always hesitated to purchase extended warranties with a motorcycle is that I know that I will invariably add an aftermarket "performance" part at some point. I haven't seen any reports of shaft/final drive issues with the S10s, like the GSs, but, if I were to change out the exhaust and install a Power Commander on some other manufacturer's products I know from experience that they'll try to create a reason why it contributed to nearly any other failure.
I realize that in many cases the dealer can work for or against you when making a claim but, the manufacturer can also be an influencing force with the dealer.

I would say don't worry about it. My FJR was 'fully farkled' in endurance rally bike trim. Fuel cell, lots of extra electrics, CB, custom parts, added on items that made dealer service take longer, etc. Never once caught any flack for it during YES claims for cam chain tensioners (3), or my major engine issue, though they declined to pay for that one, which in the end turned out to be dealer caused. And aside from that I did all my own service except valve adjustment/checks. I did however, fully document everything I did, including a complete tire log, in the owner's manual. That alone prevented a lot of issues, just the dealer seeing my logs of everything I had done, all listed in the back of the owner's manual on blank pages that I had added lines to. Date, miles, work done, by owner or dealer and the dealer's name if dealer service. Every oil change, spark plug change, etc.Sebo said:
My first Yamaha shafty was a 1977 XS750D, then a 1997 Royal Star RSTD, then a 2003 FJR1300 and now the S-10. I never experienced any final drive problems with any of these shaftys, nor have I heard of any problems from various forums.Sebo said:
My RSTD came with a factory warranty for 5 years. Didn't have to purchase it. I had problems with the ignition switch burning up a couple of times. Always happened on a trip (500 mile rule).
I purchased a 4 year YES for the FJR from D&H in Culman, AL for the princely sum of around 300 bucks, IIRC. I would suggest anyone interested in the YES program check with them for a good price. I had no problems whatsoever with the FJR in 5 years of riding this bike. Some early models had failures of the #1&2 exhaust valve guides that would result in the FJR Tick, but not catastraphic engine failures. Yamaha repaired these bikes under a Goodwill 'Warranty'. Owners did not need a YES program for this problem.
As for my 77 XS750D, I rode it for many years (1977-1993) off and on. It once blew a fuze... ???
Anyone purchasing a YES program should check around, since this has an MSRP set by Yamaha, but most good dealers sell for less, sometimes much less. As far as it adding to the 'value' of the bike if selling it, probably about the same as any other 'accessory'. Makes it more attractive to the purchaser, but doubt if it would result in much more money to the seller. JMHO...I don't purchase warranties on everything I buy, but I have an extended on my Honda Ridgeline, and on GL1800. A repair on either of these could cost thousands of dollars, so I consider it a good deal.

For YES or third-party? This is less than one-third of what my local dealer is asking. I can't help but think this is a third-party warranty...japako said:

4 yr Y.E.S. can be bought for $379 on Ebay, maybe less from D&H in Cullman Alabama.
It is the 4 year YES warranty.EmmEff said:

Yamaha Y.E.S. 4 yr warranty for $379 from Fremont Yamaha in Florence, Colorado.
Best price I know of. It could be that D&H has it cheaper, too.
Thanks for the heads-up. Just bought it through their Ebay store. Apparently my bike had been registered with Yamaha under the original dealer's name, but Fremont was able to change it for me.SisuTen said:
