Is this an actual fact or simply your opinion or internet folklore?
I have just paid for a warranty extension even though I had a gap of 6 months between the end of the previous warranty extension and the new extension. The only stipulation was that although I paid for the warranty on 27/4/24 it did not start until 27/5/24. No mention either verbally with the agent or in the documentation.

Fact
When i got shot of the LC and went back to a TC, i was contemplating taking out the extended warranty
Upon speaking to Motoraad, they said the bike would need a current service ( mileage / age) whichever was relevant
My gap was 9 years, so way outside what could be considered reasonable
Once that was done, then they could start the warranty but it would be with the £50 excess , as the warranty extension had lapsed
Reading the T&C's this makes sense, as it states they will not cover existing faults
So if you had the inspection service and they identified X or y needed replacing / fixing you would have to pay for those parts yourself
Then with a current MD service stamp in the book, they would issue the warranty, as then its been dealer serviced.
On the TC the only bits i would be concerned about were the two suspension units
Given that that could have been a £2400 bill to replace before i potentially took out the warranty i declined
